How America brought McCarthy down: trailer for Good Night, & Good Luck
George Clooney's new movie about Edward R. Murrow, real American journalism, and the fall of McCarthyism in America.

In a nation terrorized by its own government, six extraordinary Americas dared to tell the truth.

Edward R. Murrow: We can not defend freedom abroad and desert it here at home, Good Night, and Good Luck.

The movie comes out Oct. 7, 2005, I'm there with bells on, and I've been waiting on this movie to come out for monthes.

4. Clooney and McCarthy
From what I understand, it will be in beautiful black and white, which is fine for me, but I know too many youngsters who won't watch *anything* unless it's in color. I've tried to get my daughter's friends to watch Fred and Ginger or a Thin Man and they won't give it two minutes. This may make it difficult for the message of Good Night and Good Luck to reach the very people who most need to understand the dark power of a demagog so they can summon up the will to resist.
