Five Star Final
(1931)
Directed by Mervyn LeRoy. Edward G. Robinson, Marian Marsh, H. B. Warner. (89 min.)
35mm archival print from the Library of Congress.
A hard-boiled tabloid editor has a crisis of conscience when he’s forced to resurrect an old sex-and-murder scandal as a circulation stunt. Self-loathing battles cynicism after he sends a reporter to callously wreck the lives of a happy family.
“The tabloid depicted in 1931’s Five Star Final may lack YouTube, but its craven sense of exploitation would still put it in the running.” (pre-code.com).
