On this day, November 22, 1985, the crime drama Fever Pitch premiered in theaters. Directed by Richard Brooks, the film starred Ryan O’Neal as a journalist investigating the dangerous world of gambling addiction. Joining him were Catherine Hicks, Giancarlo Giannini, and Chad Everett in a story that delved into the risks and repercussions of high-stakes betting.

Despite its timely themes, the movie struggled to find an audience, earning just $618,000 at the box office. However, Fever Pitch remains a notable exploration of addiction and obsession for fans of 80s dramas.
