A smart and engaging morality tale

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2019)

A poignant and absorbing look at the Quiz Show scandals of the 1950's with an excellent cast. Robert Redford's film shows the underbelly of the corrupt and ratings driven networks and their singular goal of making profits. Truth, morals and fairness be damned. It is also an indictment on the masses, who partake in this charade. After all, it does take two to tango. The final suggestive images drive home the point. The performances are very good, with the exception of Rob Morrow. his portrayal of Dick Goodwin is lackluster. Considering the subject matter, Quiz Show is not the sexiest of movies but it is an enlightening and sobering one.
