Storyline
Managing Editor Sam Gatlin arrives in the afternoon and departs early the next morning, having assembled a morning newspaper for Los Angeles. During this implausibly active day in the life of a metropolitan newspaper, Sam and his wife Peggy argue about adopting a child. The reporter's grandson pilots a military plane from Honolulu to New York. A child is lost in the LA sewers (Gatlin composes a warning headline with picture: "Children Stay Out of These"). And copy boy Earl Collins considers quitting after failing to properly deliver a bet by city editor Jim Bathgate on the sex of children being born to a famous actress. Written by Paul Schindler <paul@schindler.org>

Jack Webb delivers as a newspaper editor on a cliffhanger of a front page story. A little girl, a storm drain, and a heavy rainstorm set the pace. Subplots include a young woman trying to break into the newspaper reporter business (in 1959 - this predated women's lib and did it very well) and a fear of being a parent again after losing a child. Acting chemistry is very successful. An excellent movie. Have VHS, want DVD.
