Mad as Hell: Peter Finch

Maps the significance and legacy of Australian actor Peter Finch’s life and career as seen through the eyes of his daughters, fellow actors, producers and manager. Finch is still the only actor to have been awarded a posthumous Academy Award for Best Actor (for Network in 1977).
With rich archival material and the illuminating testimony of Finch’s three daughters and first wife, Tamara Tchinarova Finch, the film checkerboards the actor’s restless private life with his rising stature in films such as “The Shiralee,” “The Pumpkin Eater,” “Far From the Madding Crowd” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”
