Enredo
Você sabia?
- CuriosidadesThe film is loosely based on Chicago Tribune reporter Jake Lingle, who was shot and killed the day before he was to meet with federal agents in connection with Al Capone's finances. There was public outrage at first over the killing of a reporter, but over the next few weeks it was discovered that Lingle was living way beyond his reporter's salary, and finally that he was on Capone's payroll.
- Erros de gravaçãoWhen the front page of The Press is shown with the heading "Gang War Rages," one of the stories is entitled "Star Received with Great Ovation" and "received" is incorrectly spelled "recieved."
- Citações
Managing Editor Ellis Wheeler: This community is in bad shape indeed, when gangsters can perpetrate murder in broad daylight and get away with it. But there's one power in this town with sufficient courage to do what is right. And that power is The Press. The Press is going to break up the criminal gangs that infest this city and drive them out. The Press is going to expose every corrupt official preying on the community. The Press cannot be bought, intimidated or silenced. It's going to be war; a crusade, if you like. A crusade to destroy gang rule. From now on, you are more than reporters, you're crusaders and you're going to bear down on the underworld with all the power of The Press. We're going to make a fight of it. You can get your assignments from the City Editor.

The plot has been covered in other reviews, so I'll keep my review short.
The pluses: Fay looks great, Clark Gable is good, and the story is solid and interesting.
The minuses: Richard Barthelmess is fine, but being from the south, he shouldn't have even tried the accent.
Overall a fine film and definitely worth a viewing.
