Quiz Show (February 6, 2013)
 Database entry We're getting Quiz Show in less than two week's time. A great film from Robert Redford and it looks like we're the first place to get it in the world on Blu-ray. I'm a bit concerned about Disney's track record on catalogues of late. For every Rocketeer/Arachnophobia (after the fault of course) quality release there have been a bunch of Good Morning Vietnam/Color of Money/Grosse Point Blank-type releases where picture quality has been average at best. I hope the film gets the treatment it deserves. $17.99 at JB. http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/d...blu-ray/678214 |

This is such a great movie and pretty much a dream for anyone who grew up watching a lot of game shows. It's an interesting story and it's kind of easy to sympathize with the real life Herb. He claims to have been instructed to play a character on the show and it doesn't seem terribly farfetched after all that transpired. The guy has some interviews on YT and he's a really articulate and charismatic guy. If anything, Van D. was the 'square.' One of the full episodes of twenty-one in question is on YT as well.

Was on the lookout for this at a reasonable price for some time and found the Australian copy for £8.60 three years ago. It's in my top ten all time faves mostly for the way it plays. A perfect screenplay by Paul Attanasio who I was already a fan of from Homicide: Life on the Street. I can't quite believe it was directed by Robert Redford who I've always considered a bit of a lightweight in terms of his wishy-washy political views. Has anyone ever sat through the absurdly simplistic polemics of Lions for Lambs?
Another reason to love it is the brilliant casting; from the smooth, pebble-foreheaded Fiennes and his nemesis mensch Morrow who should have popped up so much more after giving us Dr. Fleischman. Scofield and Scorsese lend their characters the neccessary gravitas and Turturro the neccessary irritable quality. All the supporting players were excellent. The closing credits sequence where the audience were forced to watch themselves applauding the fraud that that they had been complicit in to the strains of Mack The Knife was just perfect.

). One of the best investments I have ever made, as it is great to not have to worry about Region Coding (never come across a Region C locked disc yet).Quote:
Redford did a fantastic job directing this one. Great film. All the performances were top notch. Deserved it's Best Picture Oscar Nomination, but unfortunately, it was Forrest Gump's year (and Quiz Show was also going up against Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption). Four Weddings and a Funeral was the fifth film nominated. Probably one of the strongest years for movies in the Academy's history. If it wasn't for Gump being the sentimental favourite (the aging academy voters would have loved Gump's homage to US history), and the fact that both Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption should easily have beaten out Forrest Gump to Best Picture, Quiz Show, IMO, ranks up there with the latter films (although, if the Best Pic award was ranked, I'd go Shawshank 1st, Pulp Fiction a close 2nd, Quiz Show 3rd, Gump 4th, Four Funerals 5th). Quote:
Also, back in 1994, Aussie's were still very much into game shows as legitimate forms entertainment. There was a show called "Sale of the Century" that played in prime-time for 21 years, five nights a week (1980-2001). That may have had something to do with it. Lastly, it really is a great film. It is amazing to watch how good people can be put in questionable situations, and their morality gets corrupted. How corporations are happy to perpetuate a lie and a con on society, if it gets them profits and last of all, how quickly "tall poppies" get cut when they are no longer needed, how fast someone can become a scape goat and the way the media can turn on a person. All in all, a well-crafted film, with great actors giving great performances.

A few copies going for decent dollars at moment on ebay, at least 3 over $200 mark,  Not going to sell my copy however, doubt disney will ever re-release it locally.

Robert Redford’s Quiz Show is long overdue for a boutique 4K restoration. With sharp performances by big stars, elegant production design, a period-evocative score by Mark Isham, and gorgeous cinematography by Michael Ballhaus (Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence), it’s prestige cinema with real thematic weight—an American story about media, truth, and the seduction of celebrity that feels more relevant now than ever. Despite four Oscar nominations (including Best Picture), it sure seems strangely absent from the physical media conversation.
I understand it's likely tied up at Disney via the old Hollywood Pictures banner, which may explain the silence—but not justify it. A nice boutique release could do wonders here: new interviews, historical context, commentary, and a proper scan. Exactly the type of film that should be preserved, discussed, and celebrated. Instead, it’s gathering dust. Any rumblings? |
