Review of Park Row (1952) by Jason R — 01 Jun 2008
On an ideological level, it's difficult to place this film in Fuller's body of work. It's a deeply earnest, nostalgic, and sentimental vision of journalism, rescued by a bracing visual style punctuated by a restless camera and dozens of gorgeous compositions in depth.
Fifty years later, though, its optimism looks like naivety. For the polar opposite, see Wilder's "Ace in the Hole.".
