Quotes:
Ed Hutcheson: It's not enough any more to give 'em just news. They want comics, contests, puzzles. They want to know how to bake a cake, win friends, and influence the future. Ergo, horoscopes, tips on the horses, interpretation of dreams so they can win on the numbers lottery. And, if they accidentally stumble on the first page... news! more

Good film..., 18 December 1999
Author: gazzo-2 from United States

This is a fast-moving, well-acted film, a flag-waver for newspapers at heart, which gets a bit much at the end-but overall quite good. Tough-hided characters all over, from Ethel Barrymore's martriarchal owner of the paper own down through Kim Hunter, Bogie the editor in chief/crusador, Paul Stewart in a nice turn as the sports guy and Ed Begley Sr as Bogie's right hand man. This has a little film noir look to it, the seen in the bar is just teeming with long wool jackets and '50's fedorahs, straight outta a Superman comic from the time.

Gazzo-2 recommends this film and gives it a:

*** outta **** rating.
