Have You Seen It?

Among my recent favorite films is "Good Night, and Good Luck." The George Clooney gem of a film is faithful to both the mood and the history of the Edward R. Murrow years at CBS and the apex of Murrow's TV career during the McCarthy era. As I was a pre-teen during the 1950's, I saw his broadcasts regularly. As a result of those recollections of the great journalist, I found David Strathairn's Murrow to be fully real and absolutely stunning. Other commendable work is done by the versatile Jeff Daniels as well as a convincing Frank Langella as William S. Paley. The film is black and white and runs 93 minutes; it's from Warner Brothers.
