Now that's a goddamn movie.

Sam Fucking Fuller's most idealistic film, and perhaps his most personal (though I think Sam Fucking Fuller only made films personally). The sense of community here is something Sam Fucking Fuller would capture again in Pickup on South Street, but here it's in service of something Sam Fucking Fuller believed in, rather than protecting the individual against something Sam Fucking Fuller thought was a cancer.

Just beautiful.

The story and characters are fairly pedestrian and at times sentimental, but a fine evoking of the newspaper industry of the 1880s. Fuller's typically forceful and dynamic style combines with his knowledge and passion about the printing medium, creating one of the best films about the process.

Fuller's fiercely autobiographical work is about press ethics. Sharply directed and extraordinary poverty row filmmaking.

From your 'nostalgia' file:
Stink of ink
Through celluloid sublime.

While it's not exactly polished or subtle, Park Row is bursting at the seams with passion and heart. It loves newspapers, America, and a good story.

Just beautiful.

Definitely an overlooked noir; this is great stuff! Gene Evans & Mary Welch, full on Fuller-style.

Supposedly a personal favorite of Fuller's, a serenade to the world of journalism. A new up and coming newspaper fights for quality and faces the terror of an established competitor run by a tough and beautiful Mary Welch. A wonderful film bursting with history and passion for the written word.
