Jordan's Comment: "A movie about the ultimate reality show, made a full two years before reality TV hit the U.S. Truman Burbank unknowingly goes through life as the star of a popular TV series about his 'real' life in a studio made into a town. Truman plays the part of existential hero, ultimately rejecting comfortable falsehoods to claim the 'terrible freedom' of the real world. A thought-provoking piece of science fiction, and a good way to end another edition of the JRFF."
Trivia: The outdoor scenes of Seahaven were filmed in the planned community of Seaside, Florida.
