In LA in 1972, up-and-coming journalist Karen O'Connor (Lohman) sits in a restaurant, negotiating with Vince Collins (Firth), a fading showbiz star whose days of national adulation in the 1950s were spent in partnership with the now estranged Lanny Morris (Bacon). O'Connor is planning to write a book on the pair's career, but while she must convince them it's benign, what she really wants to do is unearth the mystery of a girl, Maureen O'Flaherty (Blanchard), who was found dead in the bath in their hotel room at the height of their success. Collins, in need of cash, agrees to her interviews.
O'Connor, who recovered from polio as a child, appeared on a renowned three-day fundraising telethon headed by the two performers. Fifteen years later, she meets Lanny Morris again on a plane, and, assuming the name of her best friend, has a fling with the man who was her childhood idol.
It's a great set-up and Canadian director Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter) creates an atmospheric mystery-drama from the source material, a novel by Rupert Holmes. As the film progresses, it flips back and forth between the 1950s heyday of Collins and Morris and the 1970s, where O'Connor determinedly digs to complete her picture of the men who were so important in her younger life. ... read more

In Where the Truth Lies, the 10th feature film by prolific Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan, Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon play Vince Collins and Lanny Morris, a comedy song-and-dance team with a striking resemblance to Martin and Lewis, except one is British and the other not as weird.
Shuttling between the 1950s, when the act was at its apex, and the 1970s, after the formerly inseparable duo has mysteriously parted company, the film follows the efforts of an ambitious young journalist, Karen O'Connor (Alison Lohman), to uncover the truth behind their bust-up. Karen has a personal as well as a professional stake in the story of Lanny and Vince, as she happened to appear on one of their popular polio telethons as a child, moving Lanny to tears. Lanny, as it happens, had other things to cry about that day, and eventually Karen learns a little something about worshiping false idols . not that she's the model of probity herself.
There, in a gorgeously shot and designed (by Paul Sarossy and Phillip Barker, respectively) nutshell, is the thrust of the story: In Hollywood, things are not always as they seem. Believe it, baby.
As if this weren't enough to cope with all at once, the film also advances the notion that journalists can be a sneaky, underhanded bunch capable of doing anything for a story. ... read more
