Power of the Press is a 1943 American crime film directed by Lew Landers and starring Guy Kibbee, Gloria Dickson, Lee Tracy, Otto Kruger and Victor Jory.[1][2]
Plot[edit]
Ulysses Bradford (Guy Kibbee) is a small-town newspaper publisher who is called in to protect a big-city paper that has come under control of an isolationist, played by Otto Kruger. Tracy plays the managing editor, who has been going along with the regime but suffers a crisis of conscience when Kruger has the paper's publisher murdered and frames an ex-employee (an unbilled Larry Parks), making up and printing lurid details of the crime to boost circulation.
