PADDY CHAYEFSKY.

I’ve seen his screenplays performed. Now let me see what the man is all about!

#PaddyChayefsky

I just posted my review of #PaddyChayefsky: #CollectorOfWords, a new documentary on #HBOMax about the man who is rightfully considered one of the greatest screenwriters in history (#Network, #Marty, #TheHospital). Read it here: harrisonline.com/paddy-chayef...

#Hospital was ahead of its time for a semi critique of healthcare in the US.

The one problem I have with this doc is they should have left a bit of Network in the middle. Maybe a sentence or two on Network at the beginning and the bulk of it should have been in its spot.

I would appreciate this #PaddyChayefsky documentary #CollectorofWords on @tcmtv.bsky.social a hell of a lot more if the filmmakers had bothered to interview a single woman or person of color, writer or actor. #tcmparty. Coda: Took 27 minutes for Merrill Markoe to say one sentence.

Wait they made Network a play with Bryan Cranston? GET ME A TAPE OF THAT!
