BROADCAST NEWS
December 23, 2012  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 5:45 p.m. ET

 
After a full season of Aaron Sorkin’s take on HBO’s The Newsroom, now’s a good time to revisit James L. Brooks’ 25-year-old (!) exploration of the same themes: love and news ethics in a broadcast newsroom. In this one, the anchor is William Hurt, the talented reporter is Albert Brooks, and the feisty female producer is Holly Hunter. And somewhere in here is the question posed to me by my son, shortly before his wedding. And the answer. But I’ll keep it to myself.
