Robert Redford brings the nostalgia of a

"An unerringly-directed movie with
an exceptional screenplay, outstanding performances, and a riveting
story."
- Gene Shalit, THE TODAY SHOW
"QUIZ SHOW is easily Redford’s best
film. John Turturro does his most mesmerizing action yet. Ralph Fiennes makes
Charles Van Doren fascinating. Rob Morrow is winningly sly."
- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Two enthusiastic thumbs up!"
- SISKEL & EBERT
"A thoughtful, absorbing drama.
Played by Ralph Fiennes with a subtlety that is at least the equal of his
Oscar® nominated performance in SCHINDLER’S LIST. Impressive."
- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
