'Strathairn makes a terrific Murrow, showing us a man of intensity and intelligence but also one with a sly, slow-burning sense of humor. When one of the crew praises an interview he's just completed with Liberace on his other CBS show, the far more lightweight Person To Person, he gives the guy a sidelong glance like a death ray.

'Strathairn's voice has just the right tone and timbre -- it does complete justice to Murrow's eloquence. And you need a great voice to carry words like these.'
