In the early 1950's, the threat of Communism created an air of paranoia in the United States and exploiting those fears was Senator Joseph McCarthy. CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow and his producer Fred W. Friendly decided to take a stand and challenge.

Richard Propes

A powerful film for family viewing that could open the door to discussions about family, friendship, loyalty, politics, and a variety of other topics.

...an odd but fitting companion piece to Capote.

In terms of historical content, the film is neither quite honest nor quite true. That's a shame, because it's a great film.

Documentary realism keeps Good Night from collapsing into a morality tale. McCarthy plays himself, in hair-raising video footage from his witch-hunt hearings.
