Good Night, and Good Luck—Lots of It

George Clooney wrote, directed, and costarred in Good Night , and Good Luck in the 1990s movie.

Now Clooney has brought his hero-worship to Hammerstein ’s own Broadway show.

David Gergen : The original movie version was not altogether horrible: Despite its many insufferable qualities, it was well-photographed (in black-and-white) and generally well-acted.

The play has been revived simply as a vessel for its intended audience’s favorite emotion, Trump hatred.

This was proven by the timing and intensity of the applause heard throughout the broadcast.

During one of his on-air screeds against McCarthy , Clooney -as-Murrow made reference to the “junior senator” having blurred the line between investigating and persecuting.
