Network (1976) starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, Beatrice Straight. Written by Paddy Chayefsky. Directed by Sidney Lumet. Prophetic movie about Number Four TV network that will put anything on the air for ratings, including the ravings of a news anchor (Finch) who has gone slightly mad. This movie features one of the most famous quotes in film, as people stick their heads out the window and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore." Chayefsky, Finch, Dunaway and Straight won Oscars. The subtitles are just barely adequate -- but essential. Grade: A
