Macy steals show!

Rating: Null/10 (25 December 2003)

In a movie based on the true story of Seabuicuit and the humans who helped bring him fame, the character who is least likely to be real and the actor playing him is the most outstanding in the film.
Maybe because I live near Saratoga, NY, the home of one of racing's best known racetracks, I found the story of Seabuscuit fascinating before seeing the movie or reading the book. The PBS documentary was a big help in getting me even more interested The movie is well written and well done. I expected that and was not disappointed. William H Macy did an outstanding job as an announcer and radio racing personality. They call him Tick-Tock and most likely is a conglomeration of raido personalities of the day and was written for Macy. He is funny and when he is on he is a hoot. Do not miss him! He certainly derserves his recent Golden Globe nod.
