Humphrey Bogart is Ed Hutcheson, veteran editor of the New York Day, which is about to be sold to its main competitor. With only hours left before the presses stop, "Hutch" decides to go out in a blaze of glory, taking down Tomas Rienzi (Martin Gabel) - the city's biggest racketeer. One of the most exciting and elegiac movies ever made about the fourth estate, the film is as relevant today as when writer/director (and former reporter) Richard Brooks made it - an eerily prescient eulogy for old-school journalism. (Note courtesy of Noir City.) DIR/SCR Richard Brooks; PROD Sol C. Siegel. U.S., 1952, b&w, 87 min. NOT RATED
