Redford’s fourth film behind the camera explores the scandal that rocked the nation in the late 1950s when allegations emerged that popular TV game show Twenty One was rigged. Reigning champion Herb Stempel (John Turturro), having been fed answers by network executives, is forced to cede the spotlight to suave intellectual Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes). An indignant Stempel blows the whistle to a congressional investigator (Rob Morrow), shattering the illusions of the trusting public. Craftily directed by Redford, Quiz Show presents a textured account of Eisenhower-era America just before cynicism set in. Featuring a moving turn by Paul Scofield as Van Doren’s ethical father, and pungent cameos by directors Barry Levinson and Martin Scorsese as well as the real Herb Stempel.
