QUIZ SHOW

kramer from north Alabama, Jan 31, 2008

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.
