This film stars one of my favorite actors, Dana Andrews, though he is certainly NOT the entire show--as he has many fine supporting actors to make this movie about the future of a media empire quite interesting. Towards the very beginning of the film, the owner of a news wire service, newspaper and TV news empire dies--leaving the future to his ne'er do-well son (Vincent Price). Instead of picking a man to head this organization, he deliberately pushes these men to try to undermine and outdo each other to garner his favor! At the same time, there is a plot involving a serial killer which soon takes up most of the film's focus. DVDRip
Taut idiomatic film noir in the grand tradition of Fritz Lang, with a cast and attention to detail to match -- and it's a darn good behind-the-scene look at a big city newspaper, too. Excellent transfer: Audio = 9; Video = 9. Recommended.
