What old black and white movie had the guy exclaim "I'm mad as hell and not gonna take anymore!"?

I think it was a Henry Fonda movie but dang I cannot remember. You ever try to remember a name of a movie but it's on the tip of your tongue? That's whats happening to me now.
Thanks in advance!

First. It was not a black & white movie.

Second. It was 'Network'. Released in 1976.

It was said by the Peter Finch character "Howard Beale". He was exhorting the masses to express their rage.

The movie was remarkably prophetic to the extent that it foretold the rise of "reality-TV."

And isn't that either a remake of or a ripoff of a scene from a much earlier blac & white movie?

I distinctly recall seeing a blsak & white clip of the scene from what was obviously an old 50s era movie being run as a part of some commercial a few years back.

+ news as entertainment
+ globalization
+ media/industrial conglomaration.

Even without the eerie phropecies, it's a superb film with wonderful dialog.
