I realize that they took a LOT of dramatic liberties with "Quiz Show," but the movie portrayed Van Doren as a bachelor. His wife is seen at :10.

November 1959. Narrated by Ed Herlihy.

...As when the boy, in January wind, Ran till his face was nipped and scarlet-skinned, Then stopped, and all of winter like a bell Rang in his nostrils, soundless. Or the spell-- He can remember, suddenly, his trance When foot upon the lawn had ceased to dance, And his small cheeks, enamored of the bruise, Lay pressed in grass the way sky-witches use, Straining upon earth’s arc, to enter in; He entered it, the odor--now so thin, So struggling now, so faint across the ground, To the old man and the nearsighted hound. - Mark Van Doren, ‘The Moments He Remembers’
