(Blu-ray, Criterion Collection)
Professional and personal lives intertwine at a Washington, DC, network news room. Not shot newcomer William Hurt is the weekend anchor; perky Holly Hunter is the neurotic, love-starved producer; and deadpan Albert Brooks is the journalistic moral conscience. Hunter is in love with Hurt, while Brooks in in love with Hunter. It's an uneasy mix of romance and drama that resembles the TV situation comedies that director James L. Brooks is better known for, and somewhat dated.
