Some of my math oriented magazines had some good reviews of the book upon which the movie is based. I've put it on my acquisition list.

Re: book and movie
Thanks, Faith. That's interesting. None of my sources mentioned that.

Re: Other geniuses
Well, I can't speak for Faith, but I'm also surprised that, seeing how important computers (the humans ones) were, that either women or African-Americans were allowed such a role at that time. I don't think that their stories were all that well known to most people. Certainly not to me. It's a history that hasn't been told on a wide scale.
