MOVIE: Quiz Show
In 1957’s America, every Thursday night at 10.30 pm, more than 50 million viewers (half the adult population of the country!) were transfixed by the quiz show Twenty-One. Would Charles Van Doren, the handsome and brilliant scion of a famous upper crust literary family, defeat Herb Stempel, a working-class autodidact from Queens? The nation was entertained. It was inspired. But was it deceived? And did it care? Robert Redford, fresh from his Academy Award for directing Ordinary People, here directs Ralph Fiennes, John Turtullo and Paul Scolfield in this stylish dramatization of a true story. Money, honor, fame, family, success, truth? Can any of us choose more than one? That is the question. Now – for $64,000 – and you have only 30 seconds – what is the answer? In English. 2 hr 10 min. Rotten Tomatoes: 97 critics / 87 audience.
