3.0 out of 5 stars
Carole Lombard is the only asset of this film, November 11, 2003
This review is from: Nothing Sacred [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A film that is not THAT important. It is not even very entertaining. But it raises an important question about journalism. A journalist is only aiming, according to this film, at increasing the circulation of his paper no matter how. Here this policy is entirely based on a fake event. It is overdramatized and it is super-effective in New York. Millions of people react to the story in the most sentimental and sympathetic way. And they cannot be moved from their support of the poor dying girl that is presented in this story. It is a complete sham. And yet it works. This raises the question of the responsibility of the journalist and the conclusion is alas very negative. Journalists are opportunists.
