* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The circumstance of Stempel's defeat here was simplified as opposed to being detailed. As it actually happened, Stempel was to answer the question of who won the 1954 Best Picture Oscar which was "On the Waterfront." Stempel answered with "Marty" (the pinpoint of Stempel's ordered "dive"). The game ended in a tie which made the money in the next game worth $2500 per point difference. At the end of two questions for each, the scores are not made known to either contestant but whoever thinks they're ahead can choose to end the game. Charles Van Doren, ahead by an 18-10 score, chose to end the game and thus became the new champ. In the movie, Stempel answering the Oscar question wrong is when he was dethroned.
