Professor Mark J. Perry's Blog for Economics and Finance
Amazing documentary of French tightrope walker Philippe Petit's daring, but illegal, high-wire routine performed between New York City's World Trade Center's twin towers in 1974, what some consider, "the artistic crime of the century."
Tomato-meter rating of "Man on Wire" on Rotten Tomatoes: 100% (Fresh reviews: 132; Rotten: 0).
