À propos de cet audio

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.

Very well produced and directed. The acting was very, very good. This podcast is a perfect example of what dramatized audio should aspire to be. Well done folks, your efforts are appreciated.

Production at its best

I enjoyed listening to Second Acts, not something I usually do in Audible. I mean, I usually listen to full length novels or biographies - I’m glad I gave this one a chance. The performances were excellent and I thought the story was good enough to keep me coming back for more!

Very Entertaining

I listened in one sitting — completely hooked from start to finish. The narrators brought the characters to life beautifully. Truly enjoyed it.
Thanks, Audible!

Great narration, plot, and cast. Jon Hamm is, as always, fantastic, and a great fit for this part. Thoroughly enjoyed this story and discussion of LA history, even if partially fictional.

great story

Title of this post says it all. Voice acting was decent though. Wouldn't recommend it.
