    • Trivia
      On the April 1st, 2022 installment of "The Lawfare" podcast, screenwriter Andrea Chalupa reports how during the course of filming "Mr. Jones", they reached out to the New York Times for permission to quote directly from Walter Duranty's article that denied a famine had taken place in Ukraine, but the Times refused to grant permission.
    • Goofs
      After the main character returns to Britain, he meets George Orwell in a restaurant. In this scene, at the very beginning, a modern cash register is visible, with a flat LCD monitor.
    • Quotes

      Walter Duranty: I read your article. Do you think Hitler really believes the things he said?

      Gareth Jones: Lots of people say he's deranged.

      Walter Duranty: What is "deranged" in a deranged world, hmm?

    • Crazy credits
      "With special thanks and in loving memory of Dr. Margaret Siriol Colley, the niece of Gareth Jones and Nigel Colley, his great-nephew for their tireless research and tending to his legacy.

      Thanks to the estate of the late Sonia Brownell Orwell for the use of quotations from Animal Farm by George Orwell."

    Powerful film
    I'm very glad I stuck this one out.

    It is a little slow at the beginning, but the moral clarity of this film really stands out. This is a true story that needs to be heard. It's a story of an undercover freelance journalist who was a great hero, though many people don't know his name. It's a story of how the New York Times and the other intellectual elites in the 1930s defended one of the most evil regimes in history. It's a story of the naivety of so many well-meaning people. It's a story of the unspeakable evil of communism. These are stories you won't usually hear from Hollywood, but someone had the balls to make this.

    The only negatives of this film are some obvious lacking in production value at times. But this is made up by surprisingly terrific acting and some extraordinarily effective scenes portraying the great evils of communism.
