Network screening + Q&A

7:00 screening followed by a Q&A with Film Critic Sheila O’Malley

When veteran anchorman Howard Beale (Peter Finch, in his Academy Award-winning final role) is forced to retire his 25-year post because of his age, he announces to viewers that he will take his own life during his farewell broadcast. After his fanatical tirade results in a massive ratings spike, network executives rethink their decision. Also starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Ned Beatty, Robert Duvall, and Beatrice Straight, Network was nominated for ten Academy Awards.
