However, director Sidney Lumet would dispute that claim, asserting in a commentary for the film recorded for Warner\u2019s 2006 DVD of the film that he and Chayefsky were simply showing the honest truth of how the television industry worked. To hear him tell it, the only thing depicted in the film that hadn\u2019t actually happened in the 30 years since the film\u2019s release was showing an actual murder on live TV for the sake of entertainment, which he contended was only a matter of time.<\/p>\n<p>Lumet in 2006 equated most of the farcical elements of the film to the growing trend of reality TV. But he died in 2011, just as internet streaming was on the rise, sending the relevance of the film\u2019s social commentary into overdrive.<\/p>\n<p>In contemporary interviews to promote the film, Chayefsky spoke to the dehumanizing effect he believed television had, saying it made the United States look like a country of \u201chookers, hitmen and pimps.\u201d He was especially critical of the way television could manipulate viewers by distorting the news cycle with selective soundbites, and anchors pushing their own interpretation of events on viewers. If ever the phrase \u201cthe more things change, the more they stay the same\u201d would apply to a situation, this would be it.<\/p>\n<p>Chayefsky himself wasn\u2019t unfamiliar with the process, having contributed scripts to the initial boom of television in the early 1950s before breaking into the film industry. Indeed, much of <em>Network<\/em> serves as his outlet for venting his observational frustrations about not just commoditization of television, but also corporate power, the influence of foreign investment in American entertainment, and the generational decline of morality.<\/p>\n<p><em>Network<\/em> begins with an introduction to news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch), who is being replaced due to declining ratings. As he reminisces about his career with his longtime friend and colleague Max Schumacher (William Holden), president of the news division, Howard realizes his job was all he had left to live for, so in one of his final broadcasts he announces he\u2019s going to kill himself on the air.<\/p>\n<p>When Howard\u2019s pronouncement sparks newfound interest in his news broadcast, the network bosses decide to keep him on the air. Drinking heavily and no longer caring about decorum, Howard turns his broadcast into a sermon about the state of the world, leading to the iconic scene in which he urges viewers to shout out the window \u201cI\u2019m mad as hell, and I\u2019m not going to take this anymore!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Languishing in last place and desperate for a hit show, the network becomes willing to air anything for ratings. The network\u2019s soulless programming director, Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway), seizes control of the news hour, turning Howard into &#8220;the mad prophet of the airwaves&#8221; by making him the centerpiece of a show that blurs the line between news and entertainment, stocking the program with populist pablum and giving segments to fortune tellers.<\/p>\n<p>She also gives a show to a left-wing terrorist group hoping to seize upon the sensationalism of the homemade footage of their crimes (a precursor to the viral videos of today).<\/p>\n<p>Max, forced out of the company by the network\u2019s budget-obsessed corporate overlord (Robert Duvall), soon begins a scandalous affair with Diana, despite her orchestrating his ouster.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, freed from the burdens of self-censorship, Howard becomes an overnight sensation with his diatribes against corporate hypocrisy and the declining values of America. To Max\u2019s chagrin, Howard\u2019s bosses don\u2019t care what he says or that he might be losing his mind. They only care that he remains the No. 1 show on television. So, when Howard\u2019s commentaries begin to steer toward subjects that threaten the financial stability of the company, his \u201ccancellation\u201d is dealt with in a final business meeting that must be seen to be believed.<\/p>\n<p>The film ultimately won four Oscars,\u00a0three for acting and a well-deserved Best Original Screenplay trophy for Chayefsky. Dunaway won Best Actress, while Finch would win the Best Actor Oscar posthumously, having died during the film\u2019s award-season campaign. Best Supporting Actress went to Beatrice Straight, who appears as Max\u2019s wife in just two brief scenes for a little over five minutes of total screen time, the shortest duration for an acting win in Oscar history, but her speech lambasting her husband for his affair packs a wallop.<\/p>\n<p>That <em>Network<\/em> didn\u2019t win Best Picture or Best Director (losing out to <em>Rocky<\/em>) only shows how much stronger films were in the \u201970s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/dgLnU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe HERE to the FREE <em>Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For <em>Network<\/em>\u2019s 50th anniversary, the Criterion Collection offers the film with a new 4K digital restoration and uncompressed monaural soundtrack on both Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD disc (the 4K combo pack includes both discs).<\/p>\n<p>The 4K disc includes the film with Dolby Vision HDR and the Lumet commentary. The film looks remarkable, with a presentation that maintains the gritty cinematic quality of its 1970s aesthetic, which Lumet purposefully manipulated as the story progressed so that by the end it would feel as insincere as the television programming it was lampooning.<\/p>\n<p>The Blu-ray Disc of the film also includes the Lumet commentary, plus additional extras such as the film\u2019s theatrical trailer, and the hour-and-a-half six-part retrospective documentary made by Laurent Bouzereau for the 2006 DVD.<\/p>\n<p>New to the Criterion edition is the excellent hour-and-a-half documentary <em>Paddy Chayefsky: Collector of Words<\/em>, a 2025 film by Matthew Miele that examines the screenwriter\u2019s career using clips of his work and interviews from filmmakers, friends and acolytes such as Aaron Sorkin, Oliver Stone, Rob Lowe, James L. Brooks, Judd Apatow, Mel Brooks and more.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus materials from the previous Warner DVD and Blu-ray that aren\u2019t available with the Criterion version include a 1977 interview with Chayefsky on \u201cDinah!,\u201d and a 2005 episode of TCM\u2019s \u201cPrivate Screenings\u201d in which host Robert Osborne interviews Lumet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY REVIEW: Street Date 2\/24\/26; Criterion; Comedy; $39.95 Blu-ray, $49.95 UHD BD; Rated \u2018R\u2019 Stars Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, William Prince, Wesley Addy, Beatrice Straight, Marlene Warfield, Arthur Burghardt, Kathy Cronkite.
