Description
Quiz Show is a 1994 American historical mystery-drama film directed and produced by Robert Redford. The screenplay by Paul Attanasio adapts the memoirs of Richard N. Goodwin, a U.S. Congressional lawyer who investigated the accusations of game-fixing by show producers. The film dramatizes the Twenty-One quiz show scandals of the 1950s. It is presented as a morality tale in which Jews are perpetrators and victims of television fraud. The film works as a memory of the first decade in which a society that used to sit on the front porch went inside and stared at the tube.
