Yes, Beth is correct, DD told Harry in the book GoF, and Harry agonized over it
but kept the information to himself until the St Mungo's scene in OotP.  But
they do address it in the film if you are paying close attention.  In the
Pensieve scene, Karkaroff's last piece of info to try to get himself released
is that he knows who tortured the Auror Frank Longbottom and his wife.  There
is lots of information thrown out there very quickly, and most of it has to be
put together with other pieces of information from various parts of the movie
to make sense.

Also, somebody asked about the motivation for Crouch Sr's murder in the film. 
The second time I watched the film, I saw Moody flick out his tongue after
telling Crouch that "The last boy who went into the Department of Mysteries
never came out" or words to that effect, and then Crouch Sr gets this weird
look of recognition on his face.  That's why Jr killed him, because he
recognized that Moody is really Jr.  This is a bit confusing for those of us
who have read the book, since Crouch Sr already knows a lot more in the book
(like the fact that Jr is neither dead nor in Azkaban), and he is killed
because he's starting to throw off the Imperious Curse and might reveal
everything, not because he discovers any new information.  In the film, Jr
isn't believed to be dead, and Sr hasn't been hiding him.  Everybody, including
Sr, believes he's in Azkaban.
