you can see Fuller's cinematic skill on display ,but I'm afraid the story and the acting don't lift the movie above something shown in a classroom

Oddly enjoyable. An unabashed tribute to a golden age (as Fuller saw it) of rough and tough but incorruptible newspapermen. Plot points pale beside ink-under-the-fingernails detail about making, writing and printing the news. The highlight is a magnificently kinetic, one-shot fight sequence. Surely any film which has Ottmar Mergenthaler, the inventor of Linotype, as one of its supporting characters can't be all bad.

Of course a pessimistic tabloid writer like Fuller would write the ultimate love letter to journalism. Hell, no other profession captures the same mix of pure idealism and bottomless cynicism.

Is this still from Park Row? It looks like a shot of Widmark from Pick up on Southsreet.

A letdown for me, but I think primarily because before I finally got to see it I was led to believe that this was among Fuller's best work. It's not, but it's still worth seeing.

Refreshing to see this now, esp. as there's a shadow cast over much of print journalism these days.
