good night and good luck
Good Night,
and Good Luck.

(George Clooney)

Clooney proves that his stylish, bracingly creative directing debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was no fluke. Here he goes deeper and takes serious risks as an actor, writer, director and producer. Critics say he has a liberal agenda, but he's also telling a gripping, powerful true story that resonates strongly half a century later. Essential.
