At the heart of GENIUS ON HOLD is the story of Walter L. Shaw-a brilliant inventor with an astonishing list of telecommunications patents to his name including call forwarding, touchtone dialing, speakerphone and voice recognition. His ground-breaking designs should have earned him great fortune and lasting fame, but for one thing-the power, greed, and oppression of AT&T, the largest, government-sanctioned, telecommunications monopoly in the United States which blocked him from realizing his dream. Punished, imprisoned, and eventually destitute, Shaw was drawn to the only organization that would reward him for his talent-the mob, whose bookies used his "black box" and "blue box" to run their gambling operations and evade the Feds. His son, Walter T. Shaw, embittered by his father's destruction, turned to organized crime and became one of the most notorious jewel thieves in American history. All to get back at the system that destroyed his family -- but at what cost?If You Like this movie you can streaming Genius On Hold movie without downloading HERE

Review For Genius On Hold
Marquette, aided by Frank Langella's precise narration, has crafted an engrossing and disturbing tribute.Gary Goldstein-Los Angeles Times
This promisingly tragic tale is sunk by cartloads of context and an overbearing, slanted narration.
Nicolas Rapold-New York Times
A far-reaching narrative of government venality and big-business greed that's all mapped succinctly but substantively.
Ernest Hardy-Village Voice
A movie that underscores that the winners and losers of some battles of capitalism aren't always confined to a single generation; its shadows are long ones.
Brent Simon-Shockya.com
A provocative side trip into Americana, as fascinating as it is tendentious.
Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International
Though overstuffed, his film eschews pop-doc conventions by opting for in-depth analysis over superficiality.
