Clooney admits ‘stealing from every other director’
Clooney, 44, is in Italy for the world premiere of his new film at the Venice Film Festival. His second movie as director, Good Night, and Good Luck, is shot in black-and-white and centres on the communist witch-hunt which took place in 1950s America.
The film features the real-life conflict between TV news pioneer Edward R Murrow, played by David Strathairn, and Senator Joseph McCarthy, played by himself in newsreel footage.
