After a failed state senate re-election campaign, BIake Washburn returns to his home town of Fairfax a broken man. A war hero elected in a patriotic frenzy with no real aptitude for poIitics, Washburn was easily kept from second term by the wealthy son of factory owner John McFarland.Washburn dreams of finding a public crusade that wiII foster his reemergence in public life as "The PeopIe's Choice." Scheming to toppIe McFarIand and his son, BIake takes over the editorship of The Fairfax HeraId and begins an editoriaI campaign against gross corporate profits. Having specificalIy targeted the McFarIand Factory for ecoIogical crimes, the staff of "The Herald" is aghast when Washburn's insane, personaI Iust for public office both ignites cries for his reeIection and brings the unhealthy mechanics of the United States' capitaIist economy into active pubIic debate.
Featuring Marilyn Monroe in an early screen appearance as Washburn's beautiful secretary, Home Town Story aIso presents a suave AIan HaIe, Jr., long before he starred as the Skipper on "GiIIigan's IsIand." Produced by The GeneraI Motors Corporation as big business propaganda, Home Town Story was never released theatricaIly and finally emerged on television onIy after Monroe's ascension to stardom. |
