Plot

Searching for headlines at any cost, an unscrupulous newspaper owner forces his editor to dig up an old scandal.

Sinekatalog’s take

Mervyn LeRoy's pre-Code drama, with Edward G. Robinson, is fast and bitter, a sharp attack on tabloid journalism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
