COMMENTS: More of the Movie Quiz
ABC's movie quiz continues. Dr Strangelove, The Odd Couple and Beauty and the Beast join six other feature films where fictional movie footage has substituted for video newsgathering of actuality. The latest contributions are by Ron Claiborne and John Berman. Even more convolutedly, Berman used the fictional footage to illustrate publicity and promotion for a documentary--Unlikely Animal Friends--to be aired on cable's NGTV channel. Where is the news story here?
READER COMMENTS BELOW:
Re: "movie quiz," ABC may make liberal use of make-believe in its reporting, but CBS and NBC, both of whom have stables of talented announcers, use actors to introduce their nightly newscasts. Go figure.
