Review of Broadcast News (1987) by Michael H — 04 Jul 2008

All three Signature roles. A brilliant sequence is the moment right before when silently Jane Craig is watching William Hurt and moving uncomfortably around the room, sees him turn her back just before he sees her and walks away from him.

You can feel her prepare, she tweekes her neck and relaxes her shoulders as he touches her and she turns to look at him. And he annouces that she looks "Clean and Pretty", says "clean..

.?" - please clarify and he tells her at work she's and covered in a "kind of film". That look of rejection and disappointment - haven't we all been there. We are deep within the mind of this little bundle of fast energy.

It must wonderful to know you're the smartest person in the room, "No it's awful".
