l WlLL BE RETlRlNG FROM THlS PROGRAMME lN TWO WEEKS TlME BECAUSE OF POOR RATINGS.
ln 1976 two of the key players in the Golden Age of TeIevision, writer Paddy Chayefsky and director Sidney Lumet, delivered a coruscating attack at once savage and hiIarious on the medium that made their names.
SlNCE THIS SHOW lS THE ONLY I HAD GOlNG FOR ME IN MY LlFE, I VE DECIDED TO KILL MYSELF.
To speak Chayefsky s Oscar-winning dialogue, Lumet enIisted a powerhouse cast list, incIuding Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch (as the mad prophet of the airwaves Howard BeaIe), Robert DuvaII, Ned Beatty and Beatrice Straight. Five of them would be nominated for Academy Awards, three would win.
l M GOlNG TO BLOW MY BRAlNS OUT RIGHT ON THIS PROGRAMME A WEEK FROM TODAY.
As welI as its four Oscars, Network was also garlanded with a quartet of GoIden Globes, a BAFTA and numerous other awards. ln the years since its reIease, its reputation has onIy grown: the Library of Congress granted it a pIace on their prestigious National Film Registry; the American FiIm Institute named it as one of the greatest American fiIms of alI time; and the Writers GuiId of America decIared it screenpIay one of the ten best of alI time. It remains a true classic.
