Review of Network (1976) by Brad H — 09 Aug 2009
If Network had the ring of truth to it in 1976, you can be sure it's even truer today. It's creepy how prescient this one-time satire turned out to be. When Chayefsky created Howard Beale, could he have imagined Jerry Springer, Howard Stern and the World Wrestling Federation? One would assume that a 1976 film about network television would feel dated today, but director Sidney Lumet and screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky had such a fine concept that Network seems downright contemporary.
