Another day, another train song: Wreck Of The Old 97 (Johnny Cash)
Movie #1733: Network (1976, Sidney Lumet)
Not one of Lumet's best. Two ideas are trotted forth for network television: make the news an entertainment show and create reality TV. I don't think they've done anything with making the news entertaining but they did finally catch on to reality TV and it now rules the ratings. The love affair part between Dunaway & Holden wasn't required. But, it did keep me watching without ever checking the time or wondering if there was anything edible in the fridge.
