box office."
Their show's continuing success was
largely attributed to the chemistry
between Siskel and Ebert. They ap- ,
peared to practice a one-upmanship in
the tradition of the rivalry of their newspapers.
Ebert is a critic for the Chicago
Sun-Times.
"We were people who came together
one day a week to work together,
and the other six days of the week,
we were competitors on two daily newspapers
and two different television stations,"
Ebert said. "So there was a lot
of competition and a lot of disagreement."
Siskel was known for his outspoken
opinions of not only movies, but of the
people who made them. He voiced objections
to the Oscar awards, presented
annually by the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences. He once told
Playboy magazine that the awards were
overrated and the system of selection
meant the nominations can be bought
with advertising.
Siskel is survived by his wife, Mar
lene, two daughters and a son.
