| | Great movie | Anonymous Guy 03/18/2009 | | Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a great movie! Great plot, great cast (Lenard Nimoy was great!) and the music was good too. It makes you think, what if that really happened? If body snatchers from another planet took over earth? What if you could trust no one? What if you were the last remains of the human race? That would be so depressing. The movie is not only reaching, but a little profound in a way. In short, I loved it. |

His friend, network executive Max Schumacher (William Holden), announces that Beale is being fired, and Beale responds by telling the audience that he will be committing suicide on the next show.

He is suffering a nervous breakdown, but the ratings of his television news show skyrocket, and Hackett becomes a TV icon. This film provides great satire on the greed inherent in television networks as they fight for top ratings.
