The New York Film Festival will say hello on opening night with "Good Night, and Good Luck," George Clooney's depiction of McCarthyism and TV news in the 1950s.

Clooney directs for just the second time (his first film was 2002's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," about game show host Chuck Barris) and co-stars as CBS News producer Fred Friendly. David Strathairn plays Edward R. Murrow, who scrutinized Sen. Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunt.
