Review of Five Star Final (1931) by Margaret S — 21 Jan 2010
84/100. Outstanding melodrama about the cold and heartless newspaper industry, and it is amazing how little things have changed with the press in eighty years. As always, Edward G. Robinson is terrific, Aline MacMahon stand out in a supporting role, as does H.
B. Warner and Boris Karloff. It's a heart wrenching story, skillfully told with solid direction from Mervyn LeRoy. A gem of a film with vivid characterizations and a skillfully written screenplay.
