I watched this movie last night and this scene was such a surprise. Ned Beatty is incredible here.
This movie is best seen as a collection of really interesting singular performances. Faye Dunaway is incredible.
The married guy cheating on his wife subplot is completely extraneous and unnecessary, IMHO, though I guess Lumet was trying to illustrate the generation gap between the “TV Generation” (Dunaway) and the Olds (the news director).
I’m glad I finally caught this flick, though. It’s really good.
