| | AboutFilm.com - Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) |
 | | Good Night, and Good Luck is also a spellbinding, creatively filmed re-enactment of the clash between broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and Senator Eugene McCarthy, whose anti-communist witch hunts ruined many a career and created a pervasive culture of paranoia in the United States in the early 1950s. |
 | | In this, his most prominent lead role to date, Strathairn is riveting. |
 | | Though he sits motionless during Murrow's monologues, Strathairn's commanding delivery, his steady gaze, and his brazen pose (lit cigarette held high, on camera) claim every ounce of your attention. |
