Good Night, and Good Luck.

George Clooney · 2005 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

In a CBS newsroom thick with cigarette smoke, a television reporter and his producer decide to run the case of an Air Force officer discharged on the strength of a sealed envelope nobody may open. The senator behind the hearings is offered the network's air to answer, and the sponsor and two colleagues carry the cost. Clooney shot in black and white and used archive footage of McCarthy rather than cast the part.
