Ned Beatty and Paddy Chayefsky

A couple of posts below I note that Deliverance, the John Boorman film from James Dickey's novel, featured Ned Beatty in his first film role.

That was good stuff because Beatty is brilliant, one of my favorite actors.

Who can forget this Paddy Chayefsky-penned monologue by Beatty as Arthur Jensen in Network?

Embedding is disabled for this scene, or I'd post it directly like the others I occasionally embed here.

I watch this scene once a month or more because I can't get enough of its writing and acting genius.
