I am going for the plot. The added eyecandy is just a bonus:evilgrin:

George Clooney is a brave and talented filmaker. The cast is probably going to get freeped, so please support this film.

4. Everyone hears about the evils of McCarthyism in the 50s...

at some point ... in a few High School social studies classes, at least. And it was evil.

But who ever hears about Henry Wallace in the 40s?
Who ever learns about the Popular Front in the 30s?
Or the whiplash-quick reverse of the party line after the Non-Agression Pact, just a few short months before World War II began?
Where's those movies?

And what if some House committee had called in Lindburgh to ask questions about Nazis and Nazi sympathizers? Would we still idolize him for refusing to "name names?" (Not to say that Edward R. Murrow was the moral equivalent of Dalton Trumbo, et al.)

I'm just sayin' :shrug:
