Power of the Press (film)

Power of the Press was a 1943 film, based on a story by the acclaimed director Sam Fuller. It starred Guy Kibbee and Lee Tracy. It was directed by Lew Landers, and was produced by Columbia Pictures.

Ulysses Bradford (Guy Kibbee) is a small-town newspaper publisher who is called in to protect a big-city paper that has come under control of an isolationist, played by Otto Kruger. Tracy plays the managing editor, who has been going along with the regime but suffers a crisis of conscience when Kruger has the paper's publisher murdered and frames an ex-employee (an unbilled Larry Parks), making up and printing lurid details of the crime to boost circulation.
