B71 PREVIEW: The Menswear in "Quiz Show" (1994)
from Style and Direction · host Ethan and Spencer
Our love of 50s menswear in movies continues in our next bonus pod, which delves into the outfits in Robert Redford's "Quiz Show" (1994)! This historical drama is set in 1958 and covers how lawyer Richard Goodwin investigated the rigged game show Twenty-One and how the scandal affected contestants Herb Stempel and Charles Van Doren, and by extension, the media culture of America at the time. Because the film goes between flashy TV producers, frumpy New Yorkers, and WASPy intellectuals, we're treated to some truly great and nuanced menswear.
