• The Good Fight; George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck Details the Battle Between Newsman Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph Mccarthy.

Good Night, and Good Luck (which was [Edward R. Murrow]'s broadcast sign-off phrase) does not attempt a rounded portrait or biographical survey of this journalist's journalist. Nor does it attempt to lionize the man and his deeds. Instead, the film provides a more general portrait of the times and the fear and paranoia that ran rampant because of the Communist witch hunts and loyalty oaths that were de rigueur in the workplace. If anything, it's a portrait of how to speak truth to power, journalism's sacred trust, and a reminder of that obligation.

George Clooney was only 4 years old when Edward R. Murrow died in 1965, but he has revered the legendary CBS newsman for about as long as he can remember. His new movie "Good Night, and Good Luck" is really homage to two men - Murrow and Nick Clooney, the actor's dad, a onetime Cincinnati news anchor who often took his son to work with him.
