This movie, telling about the TV quiz show scandals of the 1950s, is 20 years old now, but still crackles with newness, cleverness and energy, even as it enjoys wallowing in its period details and settings. Robert Redford directed, and the screenplay is by Paul Attanasio, who also wrote the Donnie Brasco screenplay, many episodes of NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street, and was a producer on Fox’s House, M.D.  This movie stars Ralph Fiennes as Charles Van Doren and John Turturro as Herb Stempel, the combatants on TV’s Twenty-One. Both actors give perfect performances, making it an entertaining movie indeed. Just don’t take everything that happens as being factual. The movie plays almost as loose with “reality” as the rigged quiz shows it dramatizes.
