Emma Stone and Steve Carell star in this playful true story of the 1970s gender wars played out on the tennis court, while the world watches. We talked to the stars of the film (Emma Stone, Elisabeth Shue and Andrea Riseborough), to directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton and to the great Billie Jean King, about the making of the film and its continuing relevance today.
The sexual revolution is in full swing and Billie Jean King is number one, but why won’t the US Tennis Association respond to her call for gender equality? The legendary 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) takes centre court in this rousing, playful and funny film from Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (Little Miss Sunshine).
