Have a sense of History...Good Night and Good Luck...McCarthy era

Now showing at Chateau Theatre: GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK I SAW THIS LAST THURSDAY (yesterday) AT 1:40PM after the very inspiring Darn Fine Ladies luncheon. Despite the odd early afternoon hour there were about 30-40 people at this film. This topic is so timely once again. We have a creeping sort of fascism/nationalism occurring with creeping threats to civil liberties so that there are ample familiar sounding moments in this B/W film that includes actual footage of some of the McCarthy hearings. Yes, this not only happened in America, it can happen and, some may argue, is happening again. Democracy requires an informed, VIGILANT, and active citizenry. Will you join us? This is definately one not to miss! Here's the movie ad from Chateau: "In the early days of broadcast journalism, TV newsman Edward R. Murrow (Strathairn) takes on Sen. Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. Murrow and his staff, including producer Fred Friendly and Joe Wershba, defy corporate pressure and bring to light the shady tactics perpetrated by McCarthy during his search for communists. What results is a public feud and a backlash against McCarthy that cements Murrow's place in journalism history."
