Thanks phroso, they may not have spoken to each other in the film, but all three of them had some of the best lines of their careers in *Network*. It?s hard to beat Paddy Chayefsky for dark satire. I?ll be back?

*Dieterle, William* - director *Portrait of Jenny*

Benton directed a film in the late 90s that wasn?t a hit, but I like it - *Twilight* (no vampires) with Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon, James Garner, Stockard Channing, Reese Witherspoon and the great *Gene Hackman*

Bannister, Guy ? Edward Asner in *JFK*
