‘Good Night, and Good Luck’

By James Estrin and Laura Collins-Hughes

One of this spring’s hottest tickets has been the Broadway production of “Good Night, and Good Luck,” starring George Clooney.

Like the 2005 movie, the play transports audiences to the 1950s, when the CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow faced off against the communist-hunting Senator Joseph R. McCarthy on “See It Now.”

In this scene, a team of journalists, including Clooney as Murrow, watch a recording of McCarthy condemning their work.
