a big disappointment and this save the newspaper story with one big expose against a corrupt politician be bore the ultimate sin in a film . also and i find none of the character likable represent no one to root for and despite the presence of some famous actor i like . the cast include humphrey bogart and ethel barrymore and kim hunter and ed begley and warren stevens and jim backus . most of them simply talk too much and do too little . it also have a blasphemous scene early on when they hold a wake for the paper and smugly use christian term ( i. e. save ) irreverently and just to get some cheap laugh . i be surprise they get away with this since the hay code be still very much in effect in 1952 .
