The Center for Communication presents films about the media on September 26, 28 and 30.

Media Movie Series — Newspapers: Pages From the Past, September 26

5:00 to 6:30 pm, Deadline – U.S.A. (1952) Considered by many as one of the best newspaper movies ever made, this hard-hitting, gritty film follows the crusading editor of a big city newspaper as he struggles to keep it from going under. Murder! Corruption! Bogart! Don’t miss it.

6:30 to 8:30 pm, The Paper (1994). A highly entertaining journalism thriller from director Ron Howard, this action-packed snapshot of 24 hours inside a New York City tabloid stars Michael Keaton as the harried metro editor on the brink of losing everything. With Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, and Glenn Close in a deliciously over-the-top performance.

Media Movie Series —  Déjà Vu All Over Again, September 28
4:30 to 6:30 pm, Network (1976). This brilliant and biting satire from Sidney Lumet rings more true with every passing day. The film won Oscars for screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky, and actors Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch, who gives the performance of a lifetime for his iconic “mad as hell” portrayal of an embittered news anchor whose life and ratings are in freefall.

6:45 to 8:30 pm, Sweet Smell of Success (1957). Lean, mean and impossibly cynical, this masterpiece grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. Burt Lancaster gives a chilling performance as a classier, more cultivated version of Walter Winchell, the most powerful and reviled journalist and broadcaster in the heyday of radio.
