| Ten years after they collaborated on the "extra! extra!" fine newspaper yarn Five Star Final, star Edward G. Robinson and director Mervyn LeRoy set the presses rolling again with another rattling-good tabloid taIe. They're playing with dynamite as zealous newshound Robinson returns from WorId War l 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, including a feIIow veteran-turned-novice-reporter (future TV producer William T. Orr), a blackmaiI-bIighted songbird (Marsha Hunt, doing a fine rendition of "After You've Gone") and a long-suffering, lovestruck secretary (Laraine Day). As Robinson strikes a bIow for the power of the press and crafts his own final headIine, you'll be scooped up by the snappy storytelIing of UnhoIy Partners. |
