if you have not see this late 80 film about the the washington bureau of a network news station than i highly recommend it . it be a sad commentary on the direction of news reporting in this country but tell the story with wit . the character be well developed and albert brook performance be fabulous . he deliver all his line with entertain understated comedy . i be not an albert brook fan at all so this be a welcome surprise . i have a friend who work a a producer for a local news station and he advise that this be close to reality so kudos to the film writer and director for do their research . fun movie with a lot of insight into the world of network news . it be not nearly as dark a another movie i also recommend in the same genre network .
