Before filming began, Ralph Fiennes wanted to speak with Charles Van Doren in person to get his accent down for the role. However, no one thought Van Doren would want to help with the film. Ralph Fiennes and a film staff member drove to the rural Connecticut town where Van Doren lives. They found him sitting in a chair outside his house. Fiennes pretended to be a lost driver and asked him for directions.
The charcoal drawing of Mark Van Doren hanging in the Van Doren home is the real Mark Van Doren.
Producers Barry Levinson and Mark Johnson had their names taken off the credits even though they had been instrumental in getting the film made. They settled instead for a namecheck for their production company, Baltimore Pictures. They felt that listing eleven producer credits for one film was far too many.
Herb Stempel's son was an infant at the time of the quiz show scandal. Stempel had been trying to tell people that the show was fixed long before he lost his run, but he was ignored. In May 1958, the CBS game show Dotto (1958) was exposed as rigged. When Stempel published his accusations in August 1958, people paid attention.
Despite knowing the correct answer, Herb Stempel deliberately answers incorrectly when asked what movie won the Best Picture Academy Award in 1955. The incorrect answer he gives, On the Waterfront (1954), is a movie in which the main character, a prize-fighter, takes a dive by intentionally losing a boxing match that he could have won.
"[At a poker game] Dick Goodwin: I know you're lying. Charles Van Doren: Bluffing. The word is bluffing."
"Herbie Stemple: You know why they call them Indians? Because Columbus thought he was in India. They're "Indians" because some white guy got lost."
