Good Night, and Good Luck
Movie Information
In Brief: Good Night, and Good Luck marked George Clooney's second time as a director — and taken in connection with his first film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) — it seemed to firmly establish Clooney as a major filmmaker. Then came Leatherheads (2008), The Ides of March (2011) and this year's The Monuments Men — and the inevitable downgrading of Clooney's luster. But go back to Good Night, and Good Luck and see how very good Clooney's take on broadcaster Edward R. Murrow and his takedown of "red baiting" Sen. Joseph McCarthy is — and how good Clooney might yet be. This excerpt was taken from a review by Ken Hanke published on May 20, 2014.
