Superb drama depicting a sad American event, the game show scandal. Mixed up in this is Charles Van Doren, played excellently by Ralph Fiennes, a prestigious individual with a well-respected father. He puts his reputation in jeopardy when he goes on a famous game show and accepts the producer's offer to have prior knowledge of the questions to be asked. Director Robert Redford sure outdoes himself!
