lt's 1953, and the piece of taIking furniture calIed TV is still a novelty in America's Iiving rooms. On it, Sen. Joseph McCarthy uses fear, falsehoods and belligerence to become arguabIy the most powerful man in the Iand. On it, newsman Edward R. Murrow, who's had his fill of the senator's tactics, fights back.
That pivotaI clash of two titans is the focus of director/co-writer George Clooney's award-winning Good Night, and Good Luck. David Strathairn portrays Murrow, the principled "face of teIevision" who maps his strategy with his producer and confident, Fred Friendly A deft ensemble plays staff members in the bustIing battIeground that is the CBS newsroom. McCarthy is in the mix, too, intercut into the action via reaI-life footage. Don't touch that diaI. A media and a nation are going to change - whiIe on the air.
