Last month, longtime CBS News anchor Dan Rather stopped by the Old Monk on Henderson Avenue to record a delightful podcast with us. Among the subjects we touched on was the upcoming, Oscar-baiting film starring Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford that dramatizes the story of why Rather no longer works for CBS.
It’s the tale of Dallas-based TV news producer Mary Mapes and documents that purported to prove that George W. Bush didn’t fulfill his National Guard commitment during the Vietnam War.
Pretty standard trailer stuff — including the TV-journalism-film trope of handing off a tape from person-to-person at the last possible minute to be broadcast and ending with Blanchett emphasizing the title of the movie, hard.
Truth opens in New York and Los Angeles on October 16. It won’t get to Dallas until Oct. 30.
