Quiz Show

Robert Redford certainly delivers the good here in this period piece concerning the television game show scandals of the mid to late Fifties. All around even production with stellar work from Ralph Fiennes and John Tuturro. As always, even though this story is known to most, I have no desire to spoil the plot details for you and even though there are no great "twists" there are character developments I feel you should discover for yourself. The "yourself" part is what makes this such a wonderful piece of work...Redford doesn't judge or pontificate....he leaves it up to the audience to come to their own conclusions. Rob Morrow turns in the performance of a life time as the man searching to uncover the deception and he is flanked by Mira Sorvino who plays his dedicated wife. Look for Martin Scorsese and Paul Guilfoyle in small roles and for Ethan Hawke in a neat cameo.
