Movie Critics Talk About Favorite Movie Characters

Film experts talk about desirable characters in the movies.

When you were a child, did you imagine being Superman? 

Or do you stare at the big screen now and imagine your life as someone else? 

Host Frank Stasio talks with film experts Laura Boyes, film curator at the North Carolina Museum of Art, and Marsha Gordon, North Carolina State University film professor about what movie figures top listeners' lists of desirable characters.
