How many of you remember the stir that this Sidney Lumet directed movie began in 1976? "Network" is a funny satire about a major American television broadcaster that is needy for ratings at a critcal moment in its history.
Paddy Chayefsky wrote the Academy Award winning screenplay.
William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, Faye Dunaway, Beatrice Straight, and Oscar winner Peter Finch are all mixed-up in the four-time Academy Award winner. It is amusing that actress Beatrice Straight picked-up the Oscar for her performance that consisted of less than 6 minutes of on-screen time.
"Network" is one of few motion pictures that has been redeemed as a significant film in American culture.
The Writers Guild of America has hailed it as a great work put on film.

Remember them? I meant to talk about these clean-cut group of boys yesterday, but anyways, here is a 1966 clip that was shown on the farewell of "Hullaballoo", which was televised 4/11/66 on NBC.
The nation-wide program was a direct copy of the teen-attended "Shindig" show.
This sixties telecast had all the cool acts at the time; all who were being popularized by the medium of television.
Singer Paul Anka introduces the group here with the enthusiasm of what was the 1960s.
With their success playing at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, the group were about to receive the finest management that was not at all common.
You may not be aware, The Cyrkle was not just another American band from the mid-60s. This group had certain pro's in the business behind them.
This clip of their most famous hit "Red Rubber Ball", became a number two hit on the Billboard chart marker for this unusual reason.
Musicians Don Dannemann on guitar and lead vocals, bassist and backup vocalist Tom Dawes were the two responsible for getting their act together in the "Keystone State" known as Pennsylvania. It was the moment Brian Epstein got involved that things eventually changed, Brian immediately became interested in getting a contract together with the four members.
Brian's business partner Nathan Weiss, had attended a Atlantic City show with the band performing.
At the time, the boys were know as The Rhondells.
He obviously saw the potential in them with their 1965 concert.
He took over entirely with "making them over" to something that would be a record-hit selling group.
Weeks later, musican John Lennon gave some input to Brian's new discovery, Lennon suggested that the new name should be spelt in a different manner.
In 1966, a decision was made for The Cyrkle to join the Beatles for their American tour.
The Dodger Stadium show was an eventful moment for the Cyrkle as it gave them the chance to expose their sound to a great deal of the teen audience. The band owned a great deal of debt for the opportunity that night. The group though was part of a few other acts picked to open the eventful concert.
A favorite from the era, The Cyrkle's 1966 song "Red Rubber Ball," landed on the number two position that year on the vinyl single selling chart.
A cool fact about this was that Paul Simon of Simon and Garfunkel and Bruce Woodley of The Seekers helped in creating this composition for the band. Nothing may of happened if it weren't for Simon. At some point, Paul passed along the song to The Cyrkle when the boys were the opening act for for Simon and Garfunkle.
Their record company, Columbia now had a hit on its hands, this was thanks to the creative output given to the boy group.
The Cyrkle would return to the charts with "Turn-Down Day," as a follow-up in 1966.
The group recorded one more album, and a soundtrack for a risky adult flick called "The Minx", which came out during 1967. It was not well received by critics due to its poor subject matter. The Cyrkle went for a psychedelic sounding soundtrack album filled with harmonies, clearly presented as a departure from The Cyrkle's familiar sound.
Soon after, more 45's came out, but the group felt like breaking-up. Their past success was hard to match, which was just at the end of the year of 1967.
Following-up, members of the group remained in the business by going into television commercial territory.
Two of the guitarists became popular jingle composers.
One of them was for Alka-Seltzer. It was Tom Dawes who had turned out the "plop plop fizz fizz" tune for the company. The other, Danneman as well wrote popular jingles that kept advertisers happy with positive sales.
Danneman wrote for Swanson Foods and the Continental Airlines Corportation commercials.
Both were successful with their television advertising careers.
Also to Danneman's credit was the famous 7Up Uncola tune.
Together, their jingle ability was proven to be second to none in the business of selling products to consumers. Bandmates did do one last benefit show where they had originally formed, that was back in 1986 in Easton, Pennsylvania.
