Good Bye and Good Night

Yesterday, Katherine and I saw the new movie - Good Bye and Good Night - about Edward R. Murrow during the McCarthy era. This is an amazingly good movie, well cast, well acted, and well written. For most it is probably a history lesson. For those of us who can remember being glued to the TV set watching the McCarthy hearings it all came back.

This movie was filmed in glorious black and white and the photography is outstanding. It is reassuring to see that there are still movie photographers who know how to do that. Sometimes (and this is one) black and white delivers the message better than color.
