Great actiing and a well crafted movie, thankfully short because ER Murrow just wasn't a very exciting guy. I wonder if Murrow's off-air personality was copied from his on-air persona. The movie captured the loathing of McCarthy's tactics, but those tactics grew out of something (fear of Communism, etc.) that was not well captured. Maybe this film's makers want me to feel that the good and bad guys are as obvious as black and white - but that's never obvious in real life, and the B&W thing is lost on me.

The juxtaposition of fact-based drama and television coverage of Senator Joseph McCarthy gives this superb film the appearance of a documentary. It is hard to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. Diane Reeves'lengthy jazz selections appropriate to the time portrayed add an artistic touch to an era most of us would rather forget. David Stralheim is totally believable as Edward R. Murrow as are all members of the supporting cast in their respective roles. This is a don't miss movie.
