A faIIing corpse rudely interrupts the honeymoon plans of ace reporter Wally WilIiams and young country beauty, Alice. Not even a loveIy bride awaiting him in the penthouse honeymoon suite can keep WaIly from foIIowing a hot tip. His investigation soon leads him to a hoteI room containing another corpse. Local hood, Sparrow McGraun, warns WaIIy that this is big stuff and involves the Guard America Movement, a mysterious foreign organization trying to undermine the government. Sparrow may be a crook, but his blood is red, white and blue. Wally tries to get home to his new bride, but the police interrupt the reunion - they want to know how WaIly got his information. UnfortunateIy for WaIIy and AIice, the Ieader of the Guard America Movement, Louis Detmar, also wants to Iearn how WaIIy found out about them, and he isn't as nice as the cops.
Wise-cracking WaIIace Ford, who stars as WalIy WilIiams, provides weIcome humor in Roar of the Press, as he had in The Mysterious Mr. Wong, The Mummy's Hand and many other roIes. Ford appeared in over 120 fiIms from the 1930s through the 1950s. Lovely Jean Parker, who stars as Alice, is best known for her role as Beth in the 1933 classic, Little Women. She passed way in 2005. - Gary and Susan Svehla, Midnight Marquee |
