'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.

    AMAZING MOVIE

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 21, 2007

    Pros: Great message, great acting!

    Cons: nothing

    It is in black and white which makes it realistic and draws the viewer in. This is a great movie from start to finish and yet it is a movie with a message. The message is that the press has changed so much. Long gone are the days where a news anchor ...would risk his job to speak his mind, especially over an injustice. This movie is about a man who helped to bring down Senator Joseph McCarthy... the infamous senator who started McCarthyism and threw many people into jail wrongly. There are parallels between the McCarthy age and the current Bush age. This is a great movie with great acting! I highly recommend it to everyone!! It's fantastic! Plus, there are special features on the DVD that give a little more insight into the real Edward R. Murrow and the whole McCarthyism age. I noticed some reviewers say a bad thing about the movie was that it was not completely accurate. Well of course it's not... it's a movie! It has to make money. Plus, they don't know what was said in some closed door meetings so the screenwriters and director had to make up what was said but they stayed true to the theme and the feeling of what went on in those meetings. If you want something that is as close to historically accurate as possible, read some history books on the subject. Read more Less
