The 'Fourth State'

By 1953, reporters weren't kings of the 'Fourth State', but mere princes, nevertheless the newsroom was still their mighty palace. 'Front Page Story' presents a whole day in such a domain, with the helmsman: editor John Grant.

The movie is a mediocre 'soap opera' though, with four separated stories of a bittersweet ending: the crisis of Grant's marriage, a woman undergoing a trial for committing euthanasia, a mad scientist accused of espionage, and five kids who end up orphaned after losing their mother and being evicted from their home. Although it's decently filmed and has great scenes at 'Fleet Street' and 'Trafalgar Square', the movie has a poor script, riddled with cliches.

Wissenswertes
During the scene with Dr. Brukmann in the park as he walks up to the schoolgirls, a brief snippet of the music piece "Funeral March for a Marionette" appears on the film soundtrack. This may well be the last time the piece could be used in a film without an immediate connection to Alfred Hitchcock, since only a year after this film was released, the theme became famous in the opening credits sequence of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents".

Patzer
The aircraft which Susan was going to fly on, but doesn't, is a Douglas DC-3 before take-off and something quite different after it's crashed.

Zitate
Grant: The strike? Quite a mixed bag. The Chronicle calls it a tragedy and a challenge to the liberals, the Worker calls it a lock-out and blames it on American imperialism. I haven't seen the Express yet but I expect they're blaming the British Council.
