...Unlike Moore, Jarecki never inserts himself into his film or uses his camera as a bully pulpit. “Why We Fight” is shot in a straightforward documentary style—interviews interspersed with archival footage—and Jarecki demonstrates integrity by interviewing his ideological opponents with the same dignity and thoughtfulness he affords his allies...
...Although he chalks it up to the race for ratings, Marriott says a number of scenes in ?Joe Millionaire? were altered in the editing room.

Clint Eastwood was dragged on camera to read a slew of Moses jokes written for Heston. The next year, with David Niven as co-host, a streaker ran across the stage. Niven quipped, "Probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings...
