This acclaimed drama, directed by Robert Redford, tells the true story behind the quiz show scandal of 1959. Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), a disgruntled former champion, prompts a congressional investigation into the popular game show TWENTY-ONE with his charge that the current champion, Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome professor who has become a celebrity, has been provided with answers by the producers. Rob Morrow stars as Dick Goodwin, the investigator on the case and the author of the book that inspired the film.

I have watched this movie many times, as much for the nostalgia of those old living rooms around our TVs in the 50s as for the memories of the Quiz Show excitement of the era. That's when I first "met" Dr. Joyce Brothers who won the jackpot with her knowledge of boxing. Yeah, I was easily impressed in my childhood! But this film is excellent and I love Redford's choices in casting and his wonderful direction. Thanks, Bob.
A great movie on a real slice of MAerica - Supurb acting and prodcution value. It is a story told that we know the ned, but you feel the tension and can easily place yourself in the "hot seat". One of Ralph Fiennes Best acting jobs.
