Overview
Before Steve Carell and Emma Stone played the tennis stars, there was "When Billie Beat Bobby." This TV movie stars Oscar-winner Holly Hunter and Tony Award-winner Ron Silver in an engaging look at a seminal event: the 1973 televised Battle of the Sexes match between Billie Jean King, one of the best female players in the world, and Bobby Riggs, a Wimbledon champion-turned-hustler.
