Five Star Final (1931)

First National Pictures
Directed by Mervyn LeRoy
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Nominated: Best Picture

Scathing indictment of tabloid journalism starring Edward G. Robinson as the editor who runs a story that has unintended tragic results. Boris Karloff is a reporter who poses as Reverend Isopod to get the scoop. Marian Marsh gets the best scene when she shows up at the newspaper office with a gun and gives them a piece of her mind.
