Each morning, George Clooney would gather his cast members together and give them copies of the newspapers from that day in 1953. He'd then give them an hour and a half, working on old manual typewriters, to copy out the stories from the paper. He would then hold an improvised news conference with hidden cameras, in which the cast members would then pitch their stories to the editor, just like a real newsroom.
George Clooney was paid one dollar each for writing, directing, and starring in the film. This helped keep the film's costs low, coming in at a budget of just $7.5 million.
Precisely every 23 minutes (the standard running time of television shows from the 1950s), the film is punctuated by a jazz song performed by Dianne Reeves.
During the DVD commentary for this film, George Clooney says that about 20 percent of the test audiences had never heard of Joseph McCarthy before, and they wanted to know the identity of the "actor" playing him. When McCarthy appears, of course, actual footage of the real McCarthy is shown. Joseph Raymond McCarthy (1908--1957) was the Republican Junior Senator from Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957, when he died in office.
Initially, the famous concluding catchphrase, "Good Night and Good Luck", that became the title of the film, was a habit Edward R. Murrow kept from his London years as a war reporter for the radio. Then British people under constant night German bombing systematically ended their conversations with the very same words, uncertain they would meet again.
"Edward R. Murrow: No one familiar with the history of this country, can deny that congressional committees are useful. It is necessary to investigate before legislating. But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the Junior Senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always, that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep into our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to associate, to speak, and to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular. This is no time for men who oppose Sen. McCarthy's methods to keep silent or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history but we cannot escape responsibility for the result. We proclaim ourselves as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom wherever it continues to exist in the world. But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the Junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his, he didn't create this situation of fear, he merely exploited it, and rather successfully. Cassius was right, the fault dear Brutus is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Good night, and good luck."
"Edward R. Murrow: We'll split the advertising, Fred and I. He just won't have any presents for his kids at Christmas. Sig Mickelson: He's a Jew. Edward R. Murrow: Well don't tell him that. He loves Christmas."
