A Quiz Show where only the audience wins.

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2001)

"Quiz Show" is a dramatic dissection of the 50's NBC quiz show scandal. An excellent production in general with the "feel" of a theatrical docudrama, the film does a good job of showing the nebulous nature of corruption; the blurring of good and evil, the compromising of moral precepts, the "whistle blowing", the covering up, the rationalizations, and the rest of the dialectic which all such scandals seem to follow. (eg: Watergate, The Insider, Erin Brocovich, etc.) "Quiz Show" has no clear winners with the exception of the audience. Its slightly obvious presentation makes it an enjoyable watch for all.
