The Hospital
Paddy Chayefsky's portrait of urban hospitals in the early seventies is scathing, cruel, over-the-top -- and beautifully accurate. While Chayefsky took this theme of urban decay to its limit in the masterpiece Network, five years later, The Hospital is a worthy precursor of the greatness to come.
