Her father died in 1918 during the great epidemic while serving in France during WWI. Even with all that money, she faced hardship. ..Great actress!

@@DeepScreenAnalysis What you call pretentious, others call sophisticated and even elegant. You don't seem to understand that Paddy wrote Network almost as a theater piece, it's dramatic writing that you would watch and listen to on Broadway, for example. Yes, the language spoken in many of these monologues are not grounded in every day speech. But that wasn't the point. Paddy elevated human dialogue to nearly Shakespearean levels, something the vast majority of other screenwriters could never do. We should be thankful and appreciative that someone like Paddy came along to elevate the discourse between human beings to show us not only what great acting can do but how beautifully expressive the English language can be when displaying the full array of human emotion.

I remember watching this scene when my wife of 20 years & I were having serious problems. At the time, this scene affected me like Holden- a weird combination of guilt, shame, but surrender to feelings that can't be controlled resulting in numbness. Now that the air has cleared and we've survived it stronger than ever, it really resonates with a true clarity. Straight's final line is the most truthful warning one can hear in a situation like this. This film is a masterpiece.

What we are seeing today and living in is the world that Paddy Chayefsky 47 years ago saw coming a living nightmare on screen that reaches into our homes on a daily basis and numbs us to the core!

Beatrice Straight is a great actress, just like Faye Dunaway, William Holden, and all these actors of years 40-50-60-70-80, only acting in very good movies.

I think the understated power of the scene is the contrast Beatrice draws with Faye Dunaway's Diana whom Max later describes as "television incarnate" devoid of emotion or feeling. We barely ever even see Max's wife at all prior to this scene and yet we immediately can tell that she's Diana's polar opposite in every possible way. If Diana assesses every happenstance or event in her life in the same cold calculating and methodical way that she would analyze Nielsen ratings, Louise is passionate but desiring of things that aren't necessarily tangible or measurable. Its not the normal "domestic and dutiful wife" vs. the "career woman whore" dynamic; Louise isn't a doormat or unintelligent, she exhibits an understanding of what has led Max to do what he's done but still points out the unfairness of the situation that his actions still cause pain unto her. It makes the betrayal much greater in the context that Diana just enters into the relationship with Max because it fits into her diluted vision of the world as playing out like some grand soap opera or television special, to the point where she talks about network ratings while making love to Max not even caring who she's hurting, and it also makes the scene where Max leaves Diana - probably the one scene where we see the crack in her facade when she shows emotion - that much more powerful. Its sort of a mirror image of this scene.

At the end of the movie when he tells Diana how her generation has no morality I thought back to this scene. This guy callously telling his wife thats hes cheating on her and that hes not going to stop. His generation was responsible for plenty of the terrible things that go down in this movie and at the end he has the gall to act like this was more her fault than his.

I'd like to think that Chayefsky wrote Max as a hypocrite. Nobody in this movie is clean except maybe Louise--"maybe" because she had chosen to stay with Max for so long when he clearly per the dialogue was a serial philanderer.

Interesting note: Just after the 2:18 mark you will hear her say "emeritus years" yet those words are obviously dubbed in post. I always wondered about it because the change in pitch can be startling. Turns out she mis-pronounced it as "Em-er-REET-us years" instead of "E-MER-it-us years" and they decided to dub it in.

Was trying to think of best scenes of all-time and this crossed my mind. But I don't think it counts in a self-contained way. This scene lands SO HARD because she's been a non-character the whole movie, and going in our sympathies understandably lie with William Holden whom we've been following. When she finally cuts the shit and tells him what an awful fuck he is, the suspension of disbelief suddenly disappears: both the audience and character are suddenly hit in the face with the narcissistic damage they've inflicted on everyone around them. This scene, to me, is about how the "characters" we've followed are arbitrarily important, and everyone else has their own complete internal lives: and in this case hers is more intelligent, articulate, and emotionally mature than the protagonist we've been following (and been wrapped up in). She is the hero here. Max (and the audience) is hypnotized by a selfish, childish delusion, and she sees right through it. When she does, so do we. Many people think this is the best screenplay ever written and I'm inclined to agree. I considered this scene maybe one of the best ever and I'd also say it's the third or fourth best scene in the movie.

abuse potential Excellent analysis! What’s interesting about you last sentence though is that this scene was initially written to before the trip scene which had him go away on his affair even after. This order is much more powerful.

Paddy Chayefsky would have been a capable director as he was screenwriter, as he kept giving director Sydney Lumet suggestions on how the scene should play out. When it came time to film this confrontation scene between William Holden and Beatrice Straight, Lumet told Chayefsky that “I know more about divorce than you”. Lumet’s real-life experience contributed to the authenticity of this compelling scene, along with Chayefsky’s writing and Holden and Straight’s acting.

WOW it's amazing how beatrice can pull off such brilliant acting with that excellent but hopelessly pedantic script. she can make it seem that normal people actually use the words "dotage" and "emeritus" in a marital argument

It's satire, Fadhil. But more to the point, why wouldn't intelligent people use such words in their conversation and / or argument? Not every couple is like Al and Peg Bundy from "Married With Children." And if they're what you've come to see as "normal," then perhaps you ought to aspire to something better in your own life. To quote the not-so-illustrious Dean Wormer in "Animal House": "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son." ;-D

Pedantic script? That's what stupid people say when they want to sound smart. And believe me, you're an idiot. And yes, there are people (called, "adults" who use really grown up words that are not in your vocabulary, fool)

"I'm not sure she's capable of any real feelings. She's television generation. She learned life from Bugs Bunny. The only reality she knows comes to her from over the TV set...... But don't worry, I'll come back to you in the end. All of her plot outlines have me leaving her and coming back to you because the audience won't buy a rejection of the happy American family." Classic story...
