Trailer

De: John Mankiewicz

Narrado por: a full cast

Jon Hamm leads an all-star cast that includes Kate Mara, Ana de la Reguera, John Slattery, and Bradley Whitford in the riveting true story behind the making of the one American movie the FBI never wanted you to see.

The Big Lie follows FBI special agent Jack Bergin (Jon Hamm), who is sent to investigate three blacklisted filmmakers—Academy Award-winning writer Michael Wilson, Academy Award-nominated producer Paul Jarrico, and director Herbert J. Biberman—who were inspired by a New Mexico labor strike to make a movie that dramatized their pro-labor, pro-feminist beliefs. Convinced the film is a recruitment tool for the Communist Party, Jack will do whatever is necessary to shut the production down.

Featuring a star-studded cast that also includes Giancarlo Esposito, David Strathairn, Lisa Edelstein, Raymond Cruz, Troy Evans, Kirk Baltz, John Getz, and Lela Loren, The Big Lie is an explosive story of conspiracy, betrayal, and temptation that resonates with today’s divided America and reminds us all that fear spreads faster than the truth.

a trailer requires pictures to go with it if not its more a summary of the movie instead.

too much swearing to listen to without earbuds

I had to turn it off after a few minutes. I listen to audible on my echo and in a semi public space. I felt this was not appropriate.

A must read. Great story, performance, and sounds effects

Not big on audiobooks as I get distracted or do something else and have to keep rewinding but this kept me in tune the whole time. Felt like I could see what I was hearing, like if I was watching it on tv. Kept me wanting to know more. The performance, story, and sound effects were very great. Can’t wait to finish the 2nd book the big fix. Hope there’s more coming out.

Surprisingly Awesome! It's A Must Listen!

I started it because it was free and I was credit-less. BUT what a nice surprise! Great performances by the whole cast. Hamm rocked it. The supporting actors were on-the-money authentic. And the story was really interesting. A bleak reminder of an America haunted by the red scare and the innocent people whose lives were ruined, the kind of paranoia that polarizes this wonderful country. Racist, fascist propaganda disguised as patriotism. I hoped this kind of idiocy and xenophobia was left in the 50's. But sadly...

Prophanty not nessery

Don’t like the prophanty but interesting but overall I think is a really good book
