Hi everybody! Here is your early access for the video on Network that you voted for! For this video, I purchased a book titled “Mad as Hell” by Dave Itzkoff about the making of Network. There was an insane amount of info on every stage of the film’s production, so there’s plenty of info left over for other videos on Network if there is sufficient interest. I wrote about eleven pages before I realized that this would have to be a two-parter. Anyway, hope you like it!

Thanks so much for your continued support!

Network (1976): Why The Acting Is So Good | Acting

Support this channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cinematyler Today, we look at Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet’s 1976 diatribe of the television industry, Network. The cast won a multitude of awards including the Oscar for Best Actress won by Faye Dunaway and the Oscar for Best Actor won by Peter Finch— who won over another nominee for the same film: William Holden. Beatrice Straight won Best Supporting Actress for only five minutes and two seconds of screen time— the shortest performance to win an Oscar. And Ned Beatty was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for pretty much one scene. So, what was Lumet doing to elicit such brilliant motion picture acting?
