Editorial Review: Description: "Good Night, And, Good Luck." takes place during the early days of broadcast journalism in 1950's America. It chronicles the real-life conflict between television newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. With a desire to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his dedicated staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate and sponsorship pressures to examine the lies and scaremongering tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist 'witch-hunts'. A very public feud develops when the Senator responds by accusing the anchor of being a communist. In this climate of fear and reprisal, the CBS crew carries on and their tenacity will prove historic and monumental.

 Rating:  - A GREAT movie. Thank you George Clooney for making thisI love the black and white. I will forever respect George Clooney for funding, producing and directing a movie that centers on a TRUE American hero. A time when news and entertainment were separate divisions on network TV and their were great and courageous journalists. Not the "brainless", talking head, "soap opera" stars of TV. Great, great acting and done in a realistic, adult way, where we can "feel" the tension and think to ourselves about what would we do if we ...

A former Sexiest Man Alive, according to People magazine, scion of a wealthy show business clan, a tv star, a movie star, and now a successful director. His first film, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind, on wacky tv game show host Chuck Barris's fantasies, was a sober look at a mentally disturbed man, much better than highly lauded screenwriter and director Paul Schrader's similar Auto Focus, on tv star Bob ... Read More Rating: - More Hollywood Rewriting of HistoryAlthough this movie was entertaining, it is a completely slanted version of history. America is in the dire condition it is in today because the media trashed, slandered and libeled the great Senator Joseph McCarthy and got away with it. America is in the grip of global organized crime based on zionist philosophy and centered in Israel. If senator McCarthy had been able to rid the gov't of treasonous zionist criminals, the Kennedy's would never have been assassinated, and many atrocities like ...

Rating: - A DISTILLATION OF PURE McCARTHYISM and ITS ENEMIES**WARNING** This review is full of plot spoilers! GOODNIGHT AND GOOD LUCK follows veteran CBS-TV journalist Edward R. Murrow from 1953, when he took the Air Force to task for denying a soldier a security clearance based on secret evidence and no counsel; to 1958 when he left CBS. Along the way Murrow and staff go after Joseph McCarthy and his accusations, but allow McCarthy time to respond on the air. McCarthy sent a letter which in no way denied anything CBS-TV or Murrow had reported, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
