I am a Broadcast Journalism major and watched the movie for a school assignment. Quiz Show served as an excellent example of how people will sometimes sacrifice their ethics and morals for money and fame. I highly recommend it to anyone.

The film in question is one of the fascinating stories ever told, gives us the real story, white still entertaining us with the ever so slightly unstable Herb Stempel. All in all, I believe it to be a total winner!

"Quiz Show" ranks as one of my top five personal favorites. It presents a moral dilemma that is extremely engrossing and even disturbing at times. Yet the story is told in such a way that you are completely entertained and riveted from the first scene to the last.(Great soundtrack as well that adds even more ). The old adage "honesty is the best policy" is seriously put into question here, as you begin to reason and wonder if it REALLY matters as long as no one gets hurt.The line between right and wrong gets so gray that you actually go back and forth between rooting for the "good" guy and the "bad" guy. Ralph Fiennes character is so inheritantly likable that you actually feel sorry for him in the end, despite his intentional deception. A great movie to watch with your teenage kids-- it provides a thought-provoking forum for discussion about honesty and integrity and their effects on not only others, but especially yourself.
