there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing!” @kevindayhoff

"È la stampa, bellezza. E tu non ci puoi fare un bel
niente!"
Ed Hutcheson: It's not enough anymore to give 'em just news.
They want comics, contests, puzzles. They want to know how to bake a cake, win
friends, and influence the future. Ergo, horoscopes, tips on the horses,
interpretation of dreams so they can win on the numbers lottery. And, if they
accidentally stumble on the first page... news!
Jim Cleary: A journalist makes himself the hero of the
story. A reporter is only a witness. “Deadline U.S.A.” 1952.

“Bob Greene of the Chicago Tribune has
called this the best journalism movie ever made. He is absolutely right.

If you are interested
in art movies, see Citizen Kane. If you are interested in screwball comedy,
check out His Girl Friday. If it's history you're after, watch All the
Presidents Men. If you want to see a classic journalism movie, rent one of the
multiple versions of The Front Page.
But if you want to see
a movie that actually shows you what life is like inside a newsroom, how
reporters work together to get a story, and how "the story" is not
always about the big expose but sometimes just about getting the little details
right, this is your movie.
You can also watch Ron
Howard's The Paper, but it's a pale imitation of this movie.
The film brings up, a
mere 53 years ago, issues that are relevant today - the tabloids versus real,
factual news, and the meaning of a free press. These debates continue today,
but unfortunately, it seems that the tabloid type of journalism is winning. As
for a free press - our press might be freer than many, but it isn't entirely
free. As anyone who lost money in the great savings and loan scandal can tell
you, important stories disappear from the front pages all the time.
Bogart's strong
performance is the engine that keeps this film going, and there's a nice
performance by Kim Hunter as his ex-wife. Deadline USA reminds us of the good
old days, when you could believe what you read in the New York Times.”
