ABOUT THE FILM: At one time, Park Row was the most famous newspaper street in the world. There, the great giants of journalism mixed blood and ink to make headlines across the front pages of America. It is 1886, and one of the great editors on Park Row is Phineas (Gene Evans). Phineas is fired from The Star by its beautiful, arrogant publisher, Charity (Mary Welch), when he disagrees with her policies. He starts his own paper, opening with the story of Steve Brodie’s famous Brooklyn Bridge leap. Annoyed by Evans’ fighting spirit and increasing circulation, Mary tries to destroy his efforts – even attempting destruction of his press and cutting off his supply of paper and ink. Eventually, she becomes convinced that his kind of journalism is the only worthwhile kind. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Park Circus COUNTRY: USA
