Nothing But the Truth

This terrible, self-important film is based loosely on the story of Judith Miller, the New York Times journalist who went to jail to protect her source, mixed with the Valerie Plame story about the outing a CIA agent. (Can you think of a more miscast screen couple than Kate Beckinsale and David Schwimmer? There’s a truly nauseating conjugal visit scene.) Beckinsale, the journalist, has revealed the identity of a CIA agent and is being threatened with jail if she doesn’t reveal her source. In the second scene, she’s doing a TV interview from jail.

Thanks to Avery Chenoweth ’80 for the tip.
