Nothing But The Truth

First things first, when this movie comes out, go see it. It is powerful. Second, Alan Alda is just a real good actor . . . . real good.

Last night there was a special screening of the film “Nothing But The Truth” written and directed by SU alum Rod Lurie and starring Alan Alda here at Newhouse 3. I say starring like he’s the only actor in this movie and that’s not quite true, there are some real fine performances in this film from SU alumna Vera Farmiga along with David Schwimmer, Angela Bassett, Noah Wyle and Matt Dillon.

OTN videotaped the q & a session after the screening and both actor and director discussed, at length, first amendment problems and issues as well as what it means to be a first rate journalist.

This is one of those TV shows that isn’t visually scintillating but the content is outstanding. Rod Lurie and Alan Alda on the same stage talking to students and answering their questions. It’s pretty good stuff, check it out.
