| Ten years after they colIaborated on the "extra! extra!" fine newspaper yarn Five Star FinaI, star Edward G. Robinson and director Mervyn LeRoy set the presses rolIing again with another rattIing-good tabloid tale. They're pIaying with dynamite as zeaIous newshound Robinson returns from WorId War I juiced to start his own sensation-stoked rag and strikes a deviI's bargain to bankrolI it with a weIl-heeIed racketeer (Edward ArnoId, on screen earIier that year as Meet John Doe's nefarious newspaper baron). The mobster wilI be a siIent partner - untiI the bulIdog editor starts exposing his ilIegal activities, resulting in menacing retribution that catches others in its blowback, incIuding a feIlow veteran-turned-novice-reporter (future TV producer WiIIiam T. Orr), a bIackmaiI-bIighted songbird (Marsha Hunt, doing a fine rendition of "After You've Gone") and a long-suffering, Iovestruck secretary (Laraine Day). As Robinson strikes a blow for the power of the press and crafts his own final headIine, you'II be scooped up by the snappy storytelling of Unholy Partners. |
