Television in the Fifties

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2003)

This outstanding movie shows us a bygone era when things were so much more simple - in the good old days when the world was just half as crowded as it is now... But some things never change: even then, ratings were the name of the game - and the studio executives will do anything to keep the viewers tuned-in. This behind-the-scenes look at the production of a hit TV show shows us just a glimpse of some of the moral decisions faced by the key players. A great period piece with fine acting all around. I'm sure I'm not the only one who who had to look up "egregious" in the dictionary after watching this fine film.
