Paddy Chayefsky working on the screenplay of
Network
in 1976. Having won a second Oscar for
The Hospital
, he found himself frustrated when his scripts were not executed according to his precise wishes. He channeled his disappointments, personal fears, political paranoia, and inside industry knowledge into his new project.

Director Sidney Lumet on the set of
Network
in Toronto. Lumet, the celebrated director of
12 Angry Men
,
Serpico
, and
Dog Day Afternoon
, had moved in a career path parallel to Chayefsky’s and had gone into films after starting in television’s Golden Age. Lumet’s TV experience would prove crucial to
Network
, which simulated the production of several live broadcasts.
