(1952)Directed by Richard Brooks87 minCrime, Drama
“20th Century-Fox savagely turns the spotlight of truth on revenge killings that shocked a nation !”

Ed Hutcheson (Humphrey Bogart) has run the New York paper The Day for years, and its circulation has dropped a little more every month. The publisher's widow, Margaret Garrison (Ethel Barrymore), wants to sell, which would most likely finish the paper for good. Richard Brooks gives Hutcheson only the days before the sale to complete his exposé on a dangerous gangster, and the whole newsroom is riding on it.
