Movie: Network (1976) w/ John DiLeoMovie: Network (1976) w/ John DiLeo

In this lauded satire, veteran news anchorman Howard Beale (Peter Finch) discovers that he is being put out to pasture, and he is none too happy about it. After threatening to shoot himself on live television, instead he launches into an angry televised rant, which turns out to be a huge ratings boost for the UBS network. This stunt allows ambitious producer Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) to develop even more outrageous programming, a concept that she takes to unsettling extremes. Special introduction to the film and a Q&A following with John DiLeo, prominent film historian, critic, and author of seven books about classic movies. The Milford Theater Bar will be open one hour before the show, serving wine, beer, cocktails and concessions!
