The movie was shot in Australia at Cate Blanchett's request, as she wanted to be close to her family while filming.
Toward the end of the film, when Mary Mapes is talking on the phone to Dan Rather, she is leaning against a bookcase in her home. On the shelf, you can see the autobiography of legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, called "A Good Life". Bradlee was editor when the Post exposed the Watergate scandal. As in this movie, he had to manage a media disaster when it was discovered that Post writer Janet Cooke fabricated a story about a young drug addict, which won the 1981 Pulitzer Prize. Once the truth came out, the Post returned the prize.
The film starts off quite colorfully but as Mary Mapes finds herself in a more compromising position, the color gradually drains away. Cate Blanchett is also filmed more in center frame to emphasize the walls closing in on Mapes.
Actors are only allowed to submit one lead performance if they are going for an Academy Award nomination for a leading role. Cate Blanchett opted to have her performance in Carol (2015) submitted for consideration instead of her equally well-received performance as Mary Mapes in this film. It proved to be the wiser choice, given Truth (2015)'s disastrous box-office performance.
Dan Rather praised the film for its accurate portrayal of television news. He particularly liked Robert Redford's portrayal of him as Redford didn't attempt an impersonation.
"Mary Mapes: Do you know what it would take to fake these memos? Dick Hibey: Mary... Mary Mapes: No, this is important. It would require the forger to have an in-depth knowledge of the 1971 Air Force manual, including rules and regulations and abbreviations. He would have to know Bush's official record front to back to make sure none of these memos conflicted with it. He would have to know all of the players in the Texas Air National Guard at the time, not just their names, but their attitudes, their opinions including how they related to one another. He would have to know that Colonel Killian kept personal memos like this for himself in the first place. He would have to know how Killian felt at the time particularly about his superiors and then First Lieutenant Bush. He would have to know or learn all of this in order to fool us as you assume he did. Now... Do you really think that a man who takes this kind of time and precision, then goes and types these up on Microsoft Word? [Small pause] Mary Mapes: Our story was about whether Bush fulfilled his service. Nobody wants to talk about that. They wanna talk about fonts and forgeries and conspiracy theories, because that's what people do these days if they don't like a story. They point and scream. They question your politics, your objectivity, hell, your basic humanity. And they hope to God the truth gets lost in the scrum. And when it is finally over and they have kicked and shouted so loud, we can't even remember what the point was."
"Mike Smith: Hey, I never got to ask you. Why did you get into journalism? Dan Rather: Curiosity. Mike Smith: That's it? Dan Rather: That's everything. Why did you get into? Mike Smith: You."
