Better than average newspaper drama

Better than average newspaper drama from the Fifties. Seems to be a more or less forgotten Humphrey Bogart film, which is too bad. I couldn't find it on DVD anywhere, and watched it on a tape I made from cable ten or more years ago. The film has three intertwining plot arcs done very skillfully by screenwriter (and director) Richard Brooks. Martin Gabel plays the bad guy, a mobster who is suitably menacing, without overdoing it. Icon Ethel Barrymore puts in a fine turn as the newspaper heiress, and the lovely Kim Hunter shines as Bogey's ex-wife. Bogart is outstanding as the crusading newspaper editor, doing everything possible to save his paper, and bringing low the criminal element. Definitely worth seeing, if you can find it.

good paper drama

Ed Hutcheson (Humphrey Bogart) is the crusading editor of a New York newspaper. He has to tell his crew that the newspaper is closing. With his workers scattering to the four winds, he goes to try to save his marriage. When one of his reporters gets beaten by gangster Rienzi, he decides to lead a final crusade and save his paper.This is good newspaper drama with Bogie leading the way. They could have explain the ownership situation a little better but one gets the general idea. Bogie is great. This is good.
