あらすじ・解説
S1 E35 We’re finishing off our first season of “Going Hollywood” on a high with a true masterpiece of chilling prophecy... from 1976, Paddy Chayefsky's "Network”! We explore how the film foretold the merging of news and entertainment long it became a norm at the networks. Sidney Lumet's collaboration with Chayefsky is also in the spotlight, as we discuss how their work revealed the troubling shift towards opinion-based news sources.
With legendary figures like Walter Cronkite as our backdrop, we dive into the brilliance of Chayefsky’s screenplay and the outstanding performances that brought "Network" to life. From Peter Finch’s unforgettable portrayal of Howard Beale to Faye Dunaway’s daring role as Diana Christensen, we examine the intricate characters and relationships that add to the film's biting satire.
