A great acting performance you should know. Favorite Movie Quote: "I've been here three hours and not a member of my staffs been here. No wonder the paper is rotten. We need more drinkers." There are some performance that do not get the recognition they deserve. Robinso gave a superb performance in this film that was more realistic than his previous efforts. This Oscar-nominated film (Best Picture) shows the dark side of journalism as a paper delves into the past of a woman (Frances Starr) who was impregnated by her boss and acquitted of his murder. Edward G. Robinson (Little Caesar) is a newspaper editor that is interested in boosting circulation and is not concerned with the lives he destroys in the process. He goes after Nancy Voorhees (Starr), who is now Nancy (Voorhees) Townsend and is not concerned that she has not told her daughter (the doll-faced Marian Marsh), who is now about to me married, about her past. Robinson was absolutely brilliant in the role and ably assisted by Boris Karloff and Oscar-nominated actress (Dragon Seed) Aline MacMahon in her first film. A classic showing the seedy side of journalism. email this review to a friend
