PADDY CHAYEFSKY ON NETWORK

In 1976, Sidney Lumet and the man above, made one of the most important films of the 20th century:

NETWORK


Watch Chayefsky (A REAL FUCKING WRITER) talk over his intentions.  On a TV show.

The film is possessed with towering monologue…

Raving drunk, Peter Finch, won the first posthumous acting Academy Award for his performance.  Rocky took Best Picture that year, also beating out Taxi Driver – sadly unsurprising.

If you haven’t seen the film yet, watch it now.

PARALLEL MADNESS once wrote an article on Network for The Script Lab. Read it, if you like.

YOU HAVE MEDDLED WITH THE PRIMAL FORCES OF NATURE, MR BEALE!
