Clooney's Murrow

[hlthe2b]

3. The way in which they interspersed real footage--not just of McCarthy and his ilk, but performers and other

news footage. I recall hearing/reading about Murrow's real disdain for having to do interviews with celebrities of the day so when the footage of Liberace came on with him referencing his "old lady fan base" and Liberace responding with a comment about all his "young lady fan base" gave me quite the chuckle. I always wondered if my parents were as aware as I would have been that Liberace was, well, let's just say, no "ladies man..." LOL

At any rate, when Murrow is speaking to (I guess it was Fred Friendly)... and they were talking about what trouble they were in, they referenced their lucky colleagues who had "escaped to Europe" (not sure of the exact quote) but that got quite an audience laugh and both gave knowing smiles. I loved that...

Good production. I was pleased to get to see it. BTW, the Tonys are on tomorrow night and Clooney is nominated.
