Acerca de esta escucha

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. All seven episodes will be available on June 16.

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.

Created by John Mankiewicz, based on a story from Paul Jarrico.

I guess I forgot all about the scandal in the 50’s in the movie industry. But this brought up some of the interesting things pertaining to the Communist Party. Our country has been faced with obstacles back then and still continues to be faced with obstacles. FBI agents were certainly expected to give up a good portion of their life and Jack was personally effected. He did his job although he didn’t really believe in what he was doing and the outcome proved it in the end.

FBI Involvement in the movie industry in the 50’s.

This is very well done. It tells a gripping story and tells it very well. It is a disturbing story, but also an extremely compelling one. It had me right from the start. It was like watching a movie, a thriller where you can’t take your eyes from the screen. It was that vivid. Good job, Audible! I hope there will be more of these.

Excellent

Real history is always a good story

Story wasn't overly detailed, a bit like light television fare rather than a good book. The most riveting piece was listening to Jon Hamm, made me want to rewatch Mad Men.

Not a bad story, good voices

This was a phenomenal listen! I loved the entire series and the 1950s radio style completely enhanced the production. (When was the last time YOU heard a dial telephone? Never?) It is an important story about a very dark time in American history - one that needed to be told and needs to be heard. The actors were EXCELLENT. Bravo!

Phenomenal

I started the first episode and was disappointed to hear the F bomb being dropped so often. After several days I picked it up again and listened and found that it was not a crude story with a lot of swearing. I listened through all the episodes and enjoyed it very much.

Entertaining
