The How About Project Part 5 (of 26)

Great movies about television, made before the 80s? Here are a few:

3: Medium Cool
2: A Face In the Crowd
1: Network

Got me thinking about other television-themed films, and am about to watch Broadcast News, which I've never seen. Any others you can think of that you'd recommend?

    Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo? (1966)

    Excellent film about a TV crew interviewing a model -- who is being pursued by both the director and a royal who wants to marry her. Worth seeing.

    French, but the director, William Klein, and the lead actress, Dorothy McGowan, are both American. I have the Criterion 'Delirious Fictions of William Klein'. Mr. Freedom is excellent, too, co-starring and with a soundtrack by Serge Gainsbourg.
