Quiz Show (1994 Robert Redford)

Written by Paul Attanasio (winning BAFTA), based on a book by Richard Goodwin, a presidential speechwriter who also investigated the 21 quiz show scandal of the 1950s. A film with verve and momentum, edited by Stu Linder (many Barry Levinson pictures). Great cast of John Turturro, Ralph Fiennes, Rob Morrow (perhaps best known for his lead role in TV series Northern Exposure), Paul Scofield, David Paymer, Hank Azaria, Elizabeth Wilson. Carole Shelley is an aunt. Martin Scorsese and Barry Levinson are in it, Richard Dreyfuss was an executive producer.

I knew just about none of the answers.

Photographed by Michael Ballhaus (with Florian as operator). Robert Redford is 87.
