George Clooney’s Good Night, and Good Luck was well-received at last year’s Venice Film Festival. His black-and-white film is about renowned broadcast journalist Ed Murrow and his bold stand for press freedom against Cold War paranoid Senator Joseph McCarthy  during the 1950s communist witch-hunts. Clooney writes, directs and stars, although the real stand-out performance is by David Strathairn as Murrow. A retro classic.
