Another Quality Product from George Clooney!!!

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2007)

While I thoroughly enjoy George Clooney as an actor, I submit that his real talent (and love) is directing. After seeing his directorial debut "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" which followed the exploits of Chuck Barry, there is no denying that George has a way around the camera.
Here he shoots in crisp black and white and the superimposition of the real Senator Joe McCarthy is most effective and certainly complements the mood and feel he so successfully captured.
Another wooooooooooooooonderful bonus is the incomparable Dianne Reeves who provided sparkling vocals to the movie soundtrack.
This is a very good look at a shameful period in American history and without hammering you over the head with it, gives a candid view of what countless reporters during the time had to deal with as well as the many, many lives destroyed because of this ludicrous excuse for a Senator.
Excellent movie.
