After a month of discussions and lectures on tough media topics, you deserve some fun! Bring a take-out dinner or enjoy free popcorn while watching four classic films that deal with journalism and the news media business:

Mon. April 5, 2004: His Girl Friday (1940)
a screwball comedy starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy. Directed by Howard Hanks. Unrated.

Tue. April 6, 2004: Ace in the Hole (1969)
Award-winning cinematographer Haskell Wexler took to the streets of Chicago with a film crew to record how the city prepared for the 1968 Democratic Convention, then wove this material into a narrative about a TV news cameraman whose ability to observe impartially the events around him is challenged by the violence of the riots. Unrated.

Wed. April 7, 2004: All the Presidents' Men (1976)
Director Alan J. Pakula's film version of journalists Bob Woodward's and Carl Bernstein's best-selling account of their Watergate investigation. Rated PG.

Thur. April 8, 2004: Absence of Malice (1981)
A naive, eager-beaver young reporter (Sally Field) is misled by a federal investigator into fingering the wrong man (Paul Newman) in the murder of a longshoreman's union official. Directed by Sidney Pollack. Rated PG.

When the Front Page Meets the Big Screen.  Hollywood is not a reliable moral arbitrator of anything, so it's not surprising that when it holds a mirror up to journalism, Shattered Glass is the result.  By Mark Bowden. Atlantic Monthly, March 2004.
