TIP OF THE ICEBERG
|
Considering the quality of this film, one would think that it should have won more awards,more acclaim. One factor might have been that anyone under the age of 46 in 1994 would have had little or no recollection of the television scandals which "broke" in 1959. Secondly, since there were no laws pertaining to television ethics, nobody went to jail. Indeed,years later, the "Bobsey Twins"- Jack Barry and Dan Enright were right back at it again making handsome sums on "The Joker's Wild". Additionally, let's not forget that "21" was only the tip of the iceberg.Quickly, "The $64,000 Question", "Tic-Tac-Dough"(another Enright,N.B.C. debacle), and "Dotto" soon came crashing down, one upon another. Finally, Bob Kittner's remark of television being a great educational tool could easily have become reality had there been a market for it. Instead, by 1961 F.C.C. chairman Newton Minnow was already labeling television "a vast wasteland", and by the late 60's we had Richard Nixon pulling the plug on Federal funding for P.B.S.due to alleged "liberal broadcasting". Sound familiar? Given yet another chance to become an educated society with the advent of the computer, instead we see S.A.T. scores again trending lower, perhaps in part due to computer games, pornography, lack of adult supervision,injurious adult supervision,and just plain stupidity. Never mind the excellence of "Quiz Show", nor the uniformly solid performances of a producer and actors of whom we expect the best. Be advised instead to salvage what we have left outside of the movies.
