Movie description
This acclaimed drama, directed by Robert Redford, tells the true story behind the quiz show scandal of 1959. Herbert Stempel (John Turturro), a disgruntled former champion, prompts a congressional investigation into the popular game show TWENTY-ONE with his charge that the current champion, Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), a handsome professor who has become a celebrity, has been provided with answers by the producers. Rob Morrow stars as Dick Goodwin, the investigator on the case and the author of the book that inspired the film.

Credits
Cast:Christopher McDonald, David Paymer, Hank Azaria, John Turturro, Paul Scofield, Ralph Fiennes, Rob Morrow

Notes
Theatrical release: September 1994.

Filmed in the Bronx and Manhattan, NY, and Washington, DC.

Ethan Hawke makes an uncredited appearance in the film.

Steven Soderbergh was initially slated to direct QUIZ SHOW before Robert Redford took over as director.

"I don't defend the practice of rigging quiz shows, but I also don't defend the practice of rigging the movie," says [Don Enright]. "It's being presented as a documentary and sold as one, without any disclaimers; pictures of my dad are everywhere...Does that matter? I don't know...It's not true."--Don Enright interviewed by Susan Spillman, USA Today, 9/7/1994

"Far more than I realized at the time, the producers gauged my strengths and profound weaknesses, treating a kid with kid gloves as they concocted questions that took me incrementally from $64 to $16,000."--Mike Clark on his experience as a 10-year-old contestant on quiz show THE $64,000 QUESTION, in USA Today, 9/14/1994

Editorial reviews
"...Directed with probing intelligence and slashing wit....Fiennes gives a brilliant performance..."
Rolling Stone - p.103-4 - Peter Travers 

"...Razor sharp..." -- Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly - pp.64-5 - Joe Neumaier 

"...Directed with quietly dazzling acuity by [Redford]....A rich, handsome articulate film about a subject truly worth talking about..."
New York Times - p.C11 - Janet Maslin 

"...A nuanced and thoroughly gripping fable..." - Recommended
Premiere - p.145 - Josh Rottenberg 

"...Redford's direction is fluid and self-effacing, and he draws fine performances from his cast..."
Sight and Sound - Philip Kemp (03/01/1995)

"...Robert Redford has directed QUIZ SHOW as entertainment, history and challenge....[The screenplay] is smart, subtle and ruthless..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (09/16/1994)

"...A thoughtful, absorbing drama about moral ambiguity and the affability of evil....Fiennes' ability to project the pain behind a well-mannered façade, to turn intellectual and emotional agony into a real and living thing, is devastating..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/16/1994)

Quiz Show (VHS) Full Length Video Screener Movie
click picture to enlarge





PLEASE read before bidding.




This is a Full Length Screener/Demo movie. Please read below for a full explanation of what a "Screener" is. Covers art varies from gallery photo occasionally, so please look at my photo in the auction to see actual cover photo.


Movie Description can be found by clicking on "additional information" in the ebay item specific box above, or scrolling to bottom of page. Please email if you have any questions. Thank you.

What are SCREENERS?

Screener is the term used for the little blurb at the bottom of the screen when the movie first starts and then intermittently, that scrolls across the bottom stating that the movie is property of xxxxxxx and cannot be copied & sold. (Some companies have the movies go black & white intermittently during the film instead of the scrolling.) The purpose is to prevent the movie from hitting the public before the theaters.

Screeners are sent to the academy members to use for voting on best picture, actor, etc. Movie rental locations also get the prerelease screeners. They are meant to get the video store employees/owners interested in promoting the movie and ordering a lot of copies. They sometimes include extra footage, clips, etc...

This movie is not a new release so therefore cannot be viewed before the theaters so not to worry. The screener in no way takes away from the quality of the movie.

QUOTE from Ebay: "Some companies distribute "promotional copies" of movies, albums, or events to publicize the works before they are released to the public. Promotional items are permitted on eBay."
