Unfortunately I fell asleep for a good while during this film. It wasn't a comment on the film itself; I was very, very tired and it was difficult to stay awake with the soundtrack of easy listening jazz and a man with a very soothing voice saying "good night and sweet dreams" (or something like that) every 15 minutes.
However, it wasn't particularly thrilling. The plot, as far as I could make it out, seemed to be rather slow. Since I didn't really have much of a background knowledge of the whole McCarthy witch hunt era I perhaps wasn't aware of the significance of some of the developments. I could see the film was making a few important points but they kind of got lost for me amidst everything.
The black and white was a nice touch to give it a real feel of that era, as did the constant smoking. It did amaze me how everyone used to smoke incessantly on TV. It was nice enough, but I left the cinema distinctly underwhelmed and a little bit worried I'd been snoring throughout. 4.5
