ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Fifty years ago, Paddy Chayefsky wrote an audacious screenplay, about a fictional network who decides to do something crazy - turn their news division into a cash cow. In 1976, everyone knew that making money from news on television was a ridiculous fantasy, but it was only a movie, right? A half-century later, it looks a lot more like reality. William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, and Oscar winners Faye Dunaway, Peter Finch, and Beatrice Straight star in director Sidney Lumet's examination of the space where journalism meets capitalism, and it looks a lot like our present day.
