With a superb cast (including Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, and Robert Duvall) directed by Sidney Lumet, the film won four Oscars and indelibly shaped how we think about corporate and media power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eMad As Hell\u003c\/i\u003e, Dave Itzkoff of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the surprising and dramatic story of how Network made it to the screen, and of Paddy Chayefsky, the tough, driven, Oscar-winning screenwriter who envisioned a world--outlandish for its time--that is all too real today. Itzkoff vividly re-creates the action behind the camera at a time of swirling cultural turmoil. The result is a riveting account that enriches our appreciation of this prophetic and still-startling film.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDave Itzkoff\u003c\/b\u003e is a culture reporter at \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, where he writes regularly about film, television, theater, music, and popular culture.
