Ed Hutcheson, tough editor of the New York 'Day', finds that the late owner's heirs are selling the crusading paper to a strictly commercial rival. At first he sees impending unemployment as an opportunity to win back his estranged wife Nora. But when a reporter, pursuing a lead on racketeer Rienzi, is badly beaten, Hutcheson is stung into a full fledged crusade against the gangster, hoping Rienzi can be tied to a woman's murder...in the 3 issues before the end of 'The Day.'
拯救報刊，正義與惡勢力的較量？！犯罪類型的片子能看得我這麼累也是可以，那個誰被假冒的警察弄死後我以為會有什麼刺激的片段，反正結尾好倉促。

这部还被归为了Film-Noir，虽然有黑色电影的镜头感，但是这部电影的整体基调还是乐观的。报社即将被收购了，可是人们还在坚守岗位，挖掘案件的证据最后不受威胁地报道出来，想要再婚的前妻最后一刻还是回来了，这一切都是理想化的。 三条故事线交织进行，但是凶杀案件挖掘证据的悬念制造不够，所以整体就显得有些平平 这么多年过去了，这部电影的主题还是值得人深思
作为鲍嘉粉来看一下，说教意味有点明显。叙事上的直白和我国目前的市场电影差不多，没错，我国，目前。
一家报社倒下了，但是新闻人的良心不会随之灭亡。整体有点平，不过很喜欢得知报社即将被卖自己面临下岗时，为了新闻真相依旧充满干劲的报社员工们，还有受害人母亲和鲍嘉最后的对话。将近70年过去了，我们现在依旧需要和缺乏新闻报道的勇气与良心。
