	Paddy Chayefsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sidney Aaron Chayefsky (January 29, 1923 - August 1, 1981) known as Paddy Chayefsky was an acclaimed dramatist who transitioned from the golden age of American live television in the 1950s to have a successful career as a playwright and screenwriter for Hollywood.

		Paddy Chayevsky was one of the leading lights of what came to be known as TV's Golden Age, a time in the 1950s when live drama was a broadcast staple and TV news had yet to totally usurp the daily paper as the number one source for information.
		Many thought Chayevsky had sacrificed dramatic integrity by peopling his script with irredeemably vile caricatures and hollow shells who served only as mouthpieces for the author's own political diatribes, as when he put into Beale's dialogue a rant against the takeover of U.S. companies by Arabs and other foreign nationals.
		But Chayevsky called her out of the audience and she came onstage to read an acceptance speech Chayevsky had written for her.

	WhatBooks.Com: Marty [1955]
		This screen adaptation of Paddy Chayevsky's play was a breakthrough in an American neo-realism that would sustain itself for two decades.
		Written by the gifted Paddy Chayefsky, this is a memorable film, deftly directed by Delbert Mann.
		That it has a stage-like, theatrical feel to it is not surprising, considering that it was first a made-for-television play that was later augmented for the silver screen.

	TSAT 15, guest editorial, Volk-Oboroten
		Paddy Chayevsky's novel Altered States retained the drug theme from Stevenson's tale, describing the use of psychedelic drugs by a scientist to awaken his inner nature.
		There is a clear parallel drawn between the scientist's devolution into a simian state, and his quest for an altered state of consciousness.
		Chayevsky's book ends with a suggestion of the second type of transformation: evil scientists turning innocent victims into other forms.

	:: rogerebert.com :: The Hospital (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Paddy Chayevsky has worked around this neatly by keeping his farcical elements as a subplot while steering his main story down a long, lonely night with a strange doctor and an even stranger woman.
		It's here that we begin wishing again that Chayevsky and director Arthur Hiller had stayed with the farce - had let Science murder the victims, instead of Art.
		As it is, Chayevsky's bizarre and unexpected ending suggests that men - even madmen - can still use institutions for their own private purpose.

	Network movie info - dvds
		The moral and spiritual turpitude delivered by the debilitating forces of television are rendered in sharp relief against a backdrop of crumbling humanity in what is regarded as one of the great satires in Hollywood history.
		With a visceral script from Paddy Chayefsky, NETWORK follows the doomed path of aging newsman Howard Beale (Peter Finch), who, upon learning that he is to be fired after decades as a news anchor, announces to millions of viewers that he will publicly commit suicide during his last broadcast.
		Paddy Chayevsky's screen play literally foretold the future of television and should be viewed in the same light as Kubricks prediction of the societal changes in his 60's movie "A Clockwork Orange".

		From the book: In 1978, Paddy Chayevsky published a novel, Altered States, based loosely on Lilly's experiences in the float tanks, with a bit of lurid but effective exaggeration.
		Two years later, a movie based on the book, directed with appropriate bombast and fustian by Ken Russell, was seen by several million people and quickly became a cult classic.
		The movie, like Chayevsky's book, tells of a scientist who experiments on himself in a floatation tank.

		In short, as most everyone here has commented, "Network"'s horrifying vision - brilliantly written by the incredibly prescient Paddy Chayevsky - has been truly and frighteningly prophetic, and rings absolutely true today.
		And what a brilliant device on Chayevsky's part to make the lunatic Howard Beale the only one of the bunch with clarity of vision.
		That the film is intended to be a satire and a comedy is clear from the narration, especially the final comment about Beale becoming the first man to be killed because of lousy ratings.

		After several drinks one night, John Chancellor and Paddy Chayevsky and I decided to visit Plato's Retreat, a notorious establishment of the 1970s that catered to the sexually uninhibited, especially so-called swingers, people who enjoyed multiple or successive partners.
		When we entered Plato's, we found ourselves surrounded by revelers, some bobbing in a swimming pool, most in various states of undress and entanglement, neither of which was compulsory.
		Paddy and I sat down, and as Chancellor stepped up to the bar, a naked couple engaged him in conversation.
