For those of You UNDER 75..... There is no way You can have ANY DIRECT recollection of this AWESOME 1950's TV Series!
But BEFORE diving in......FIRST... Let us FOCUS on the Title's Content and Context:
In GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, George Clooney really gets to show us his versatility in the Seventh Art! He wears many hats here, serving as Director, Co-author and Co-star of this gripping and chilling film.
It is a thoroughly engrossing "Truth is Stranger than Fiction" Story (my favorite cinema genre!) of the persecution of alleged communists by certain powerful elements within the government of the United States in the early 50s.
GOOD NIGHT won two well deserved Oscars... Underlining for all of us, "Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it" ...I certainly think this is the operative phrase today, considering the myriad of illegal, unconstitutional surveillance and intrusions, put in place during the recent BUSH presidency, monitoring the conversations of its citizens to "ensure our national safety!".
MOST Definitely a must see film for anyone and everyone who is interested in our recent modern history.
10*********** ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!
