Good Night, and Good Luck

Good Night, and Good Luck is the Edward R. Murrow story. It surprised me that the film was only a bit over 90 minutes long; I could've done with more. I do not remember the events the movie covers, but the following Murrow quotes seem particularly relevant today:

“We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.”

and

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.”

The scenes with McCarthy in them use actual footage of the man himself rather than an actor. The film is in black and white.
