Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2005)

At 70 year's of age I remember this period well. Television had just come to our town the previous fall(1953). I recall seeing much of the senate hearings on the news, and Mr. Murrow was our favorite newsman. I just saw this picture with my sixteen year old grandson. It take a lot to impress a sixteen year-old in this day of computers and video games, but I have to say he and I were both impressed with the story, the acting, and the visual effects, which were extraordinary and very effective. He and I both agree that at the end of the picture's theatrical run, that it be used in school as part of their history lesson. I could not begin to tell my grandson about the 50's as well as this picture did. My hat's off to people who made this picture.
