  • WHAT IS TRUTH?
    This hard-hitting film . . . is generally considered one of the best films about the newspaper business.
    "But I never saw Paris" "Darn the Mayor"
    Humphrey Bogart as Ed Hutcheson
    Ethel Barrymore as Margaret Garrison
    Kim Hunter as Nora Hutcheson
    Ed Begley as Frank Allen
    Warren Stevens as George Burrows
    Paul Stewart as Harry Thompson
    Martin Gabel as Tomas Rienzi
    Joe De Santis as Herman Schmidt
    Joyce MacKenzie as Katherine Garrison Geary
    Audrey Christie as Mrs. Willebrandt
    Fay Baker as Alice Garrison Courtney
    Jim Backus as Jim Cleary
    James Dean as Copyboy
    en.wikipedia.o....
    The story is based on the closing of the New York Sun, founded by Benjamin Day, in 1950. The Sun was sold to the Scripps Howard chain and absorbed into the "World-Telegram."
    Jim Cleary: "A journalist makes himself the hero of the story. A reporter is only a witness."
    Originally titled 'The Newspaper Story', location shooting took place both in the newsroom and the printing plant of The New York Daily News, with real pressmen playing themselves. This was augmented by an 'almost letter-perfect' reproduction of a newsroom on a Hollywood soundstage.
    During the first day of shooting, star Humphrey Bogart admitted to friend and writer/director Richard Brooks that he had been drinking until late in the morning, and had not learned his lines. Earlier in the day, while he had been difficult on the set and resistant to saying his lines (ones he never knew) veteran Ethel Barrymore pushed him to just get on with it, by explaining that 'The Swiss have no navy'. In other words, like actors, they are powerless.
    James Dean appears in a tiny non-speaking role in the film as a press boy.
    In order to get the feel of what it would be like to work for real newspaper, Bogart hung out at the city room of the New York Daily News.
    www.imdb.com/ti....
    Viewer Thomas Eaton says: Great Bogey movie!!!
    The Old Chron says: Not only that it shows the positive power of the press, not the gutter press but campaigning journalism at its best, as a lifelong hack this movie makes me proud to be one.
    Print and be damned, indeed. What future for newsprint journalism?

    Very realistic scenes on the editorial floor. And in the composing room. That's how papers were until computers started replacing typewriters in the late 1970s. I worked in papers for about 30 years before crossing over to television but those years in papers were fantastic. And this film captures that. Another film with realistic workings of a newspaper was Teacher's Pet with Clark Gable. Forget the romance angle, but the rest was authentic.

It was a criticism about the U.S isolationist policy at the beginning of the war that eventually stopped when they joined in the fight as per Rick's character.

      How very perceptive of you M, I suppose you have the link the words Investigative Reporter - but today, with huge cut backs in staffing as newsroom get smaller and smaller, and many work from home, its a wonder any news is true. I didnt have the time back in the good old days with plenty of badly paid hacks, so what we did was putting both sides to the same story. That is why we have a strong democratic parliamentary system where the ruling part is held to account and the opposition is not persecuted, put in prison on bumped off - apart from cabinet sackings!

Lovely to hear about your parent's rivalry, I do hope they told you enough to write a jolly good family history of it all, newspapers, for the most part, will soon as redundant town criers, oyez, but I had the best 40+ years with an interesting job that suited my crazy personality, always different, sometimes scary, but never boring, and, as my editor would remark when I complained about the low pay - its a fun job!

      Sadly, you are right. Little did we realise that when our typewriters were skipped and replaced with Apple Mac SEs - the type featured in a second hand or pawn shop in Back To The Future - that it was the beginning of the end for Caxton. Just as illuminated manuscript scribes and town criers were replaced by newspapers as literacy increased so too will social media sweep newspapers into the dustbin of history, as a snapper colleague of mine remarked, journalism courses in the UK are about as useful as coal mining apprenticeships.

The Historical record of events recorded were of great importance, if to one man, then to many. It's sad to think must of everything he found was swept away. Just like many great Newspapers.

    Although this film came out in 1952 so many of its precepts are relevant today. Perhaps even more so. Today we are witnessing the effects of nearly sixty years of social upheaval brought upon by an increasingly self centered and corrupt government where the people we have elected to represent us are far more interested in acquiring more wealth, power and control over our society than ever could be thought possible. These same individuals are aided in their endeavors by news organizations largely owned by conglomerates rather than small individual corporations as in the past. No longer are they interested in the news but rather serve as collective propaganda centers that dispense the same material throughout their spheres of influence. The news itself is no longer important. Rather they clothe their propaganda that will reinforce their agenda as news and dispense that as news, ignoring the news that does not fit their agenda

      I can’t argue with that. But I do have some questions:
      Why do bad people have it so good? (King James Bible: Why do the wicked prosper?)
      Why do con artists make it big?
      You planted them and they put down roots.
      They flourished and produced fruit.
      They talk as if they’re old friends with you,
      but they couldn’t care less about you.
      Meanwhile, you know me inside and out.
      You don’t let me get by with a thing!
      Make them pay for the way they live,
      pay with their lives, like sheep marked for slaughter.
      How long do we have to put up with this-
      the country depressed, the farms in ruin-
      And all because of wickedness, these wicked lives?
      Even animals and birds are dying off
      Because they’ll have nothing to do with God
      and think God has nothing to do with them.

      I find it interesting to note that the most famous or infamous historical figure to ask What is Truth was not Jesus Christ, of whom it was asked, but Pontious Pilate, the Roman Governor, after the Jewish Messiah mentioned the word truth. There is no record of what answer Jesus gave, which is even more interesting, so to speak.

    • @TheOldChron
      @TheOldChron  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      “The truth will set you free” is a common saying in academic circles that want to promote academic freedom and the power of learning. Many universities have this statement emblazoned on a sign near the entrance of a building. But “the truth will set you free” did not originate in academia; Jesus said it in John 8:32. In context, Jesus’ statement has nothing to do with classroom learning. In fact, John 8:32 speaks of a higher form of knowledge than is capable of being learned in a classroom.
      Jesus had just finished a speech at the temple where He delineated differences between Himself and His listeners. “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins” (John 8:23-24). The result of Jesus’ message was that “even as he spoke, many believed in him” (verse 30). Then, in verse 31, Jesus begins to speak just to those who had believed.
      “Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples’” (John 8:31). True discipleship is more than intellectual assent; those who are “really” followers of Christ will “hold to” His Word. That means they will not only accept His teachings as truth, but they will also obey His teachings. Action is proof of faith (cf. James 2:17).
      True disciples of Jesus believe that He speaks the truth about God and the Scriptures. They also know that He is who He claims to be. Back in verse 25, the people asked Jesus who He was, and He responded, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.” There may be a tinge of exasperation in His response; He had repeatedly made known that He was the Messiah, the one they had anticipated for many years.
      Verse 32 begins with, “Then you will know the truth.” “You” refers to those who are true disciples of Jesus. True disciples will know the truth. More than that, their eyes are opened to a greater understanding of the truth (cf. 1 John 5:20).www.gotquestions.org/the-truth-will-set-you-free.html

    I love this movie. After spending roughly two decades in print journalism, I can attest to how people felt about the business, as we saw in "the wake" scene. Considering that this film was produced by 20th Century Fox and is probably in the Fox film archives, I wonder if Fox's current owner, Rupert Murdoch, has ever seen it or not. In one of the opening scenes, Bogey is cynical about the paper which is buying his paper. The buying paper is very much a yellow rag similar to the kind of rag Murdoch publishes in New York and London.

      Well said, what you mean is that the media paper should be even-headed and fair to all sides, because nobody keeps on the straight and narrow 24-7 and those who claim to be whiter than white are liars and politicians? I like to tune into BBC, Russia Today and Aljezerah and then form my own opinion on what is truth. What is your take on it Erik?

      The part of him riding in Rienzi's car. He's not afraid of the gangster in the least. Newspapers were good in those days. There will always be some sensationalism no matter what paper it is. And never piss off the editor either. In Arizona that happened in 1987 betwee the paper and the governor and the governor ended up being thrown out of office the following year. There was simply too much dirt to dig up.

    I used to service those old Typewriters long ago, and IF you had seen all the crumpled sheets thrown on the floor, where a Reporter trying to keep a deadline started his new Heading so as to be more aggressive; you would appreciate your Internet a little more!!

    • @TheOldChron
      @TheOldChron  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I learned journalism on Remingtons, did you service them, wish I had kept mine when they chucked em all in the skip of history. Ah yes, thats where the term 'copy' comes from. . . a sheet of carbon paper was placed between two same size squarish sheets of unlined paper and placed on the typewriter roller where stories were written, often a smokey cigarette would be held to the top of the typewriter by a bent paper clip, something straight out of Kirk Douglas' Ace in the Hole classic cult hack movie.The top copy was placed in the copy tray beside the sub editors, while the bottom copy, which carried the imprint created by the carbon paper, and known as a 'black' was kept by reporter. The top copy was crisp and clear, but the 'black' was smudgy.A sub-editor would then read the top copy, correcting, re-writing by hand if necessary and then place it on a dummy sheet, representing a newspaper page. If there was any dispute about who made an error, once the paper was published, the news editor would go to the reporter's desk and find the 'black' on the spike (a deadly looking spike of metal like a metal coat hanger about six inches long, where the copy was secured) and see if the mistake was the responsibility of the reporter or the sub. I well recall one deputy editor desperate for stories, shouting "Just produce the copy" to us young hacks when he noticed we were taking it easy, papers never paid well, as my favourite editor used to remark when we went cap in hand, pushing at an open door. . . "But it's a fun job!"

      GRIFFITH HARLAND replies (Conversation Thread) No! The Reporter wrote the (his) first draft and either used a shoot or a copy boy to get the Report to a Copywriter on the floor above, depending on its urgency of late news. The Reporter used any old scrap he had on his desk. I didn't get much further than the Reporters Room. myself.

    • @TheOldChron

      Thanks for that Griffith, I suppose there are slight differences, but all this is fast disappearing into history, with papers seeking free copy and photos via social media, because nobody really wants to buy papers or pay to view on line news, the Times they are a changin

      When I was a trainee journalist I sat a law exam, vital to gaining my NCTJ certificate. The exam invigilator left the room after five minutes to ourselves for 30 mins and everyone cheated using their law books. I could not believe my eyes; here was tomorrow's journalists, about 30 of them, all looked like they were cribbing off the law guide book. Those guys who would be fighting corruption and upholding the truth passed the law exam., I was so proud that I failed, so how did I qualify and gain my NCTJ to get a job?

    Good film but I wouldn`t describe this as a classic. I think Humphrey Bogart`s heydays and his greatest films were made during the 1930s and the 1940s. Not able to explain why but somehow the energy seemed to run out of Bogart`s films once he entered the 1950s. One of his last films, The Desperate Hours, made in 1955 was very good, but it was lacking the old form character of Bogart. I think the same applied with many of the gangster type American actors of those times, including, James Cagney and Edward G Robinson.

    • @TheOldChron
      @TheOldChron  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I think the reason why so many love this particular movie is that the storyline is so strong, and good triumphs over evil, we want super heroes in the editor's chair, to tell the truth, and nail fake news; my fav quote is of course, a reporter writes stories, but a journalist makes himself the hero of the story! Yay, that's what I have always tried to achieve, in my own modest way, of course. Having now retired, I miss the buzz of the newsroom, so I just love the interplay between the guys in the newsroom, hearing them exchange views and joke with each other. Of course, since the advent of computers, most newsrooms became 'No talking' museums/libraries with everyone silent running, pretending to work 24/7 while exchanging secret emails and texts. Thanks Bugart for taking the time to explain your reason for writing, God Bless.

      Yea I’ve noticed that too about all 3 Actors being Robinson, Cagney & Bogart. I think the “Hollywood Red Scare” is what had a lot to do with their fading. In the late 40’s & early 50’s with the looming “Cold War” presenting itself, Communism was infiltrating the Golden Era of Hollywood. Many Actors/Actresses & Directors, Producers, Writers & Agents were being accused of either being branded a Communist or labeled “Commie Sympathizers” if they defended a fellow Friend/Actor who was being accused of Communism. This was massive and Hollywood went to the high courts where a lot of friendships were broken, Careers ruined & partnerships tainted.
      Congress handled the situation very poorly, accusing Actors of Communism with little to no evidence and with no future apologies from Congress to the wrongfully accused. Some Agents & Actors were even “Black Listed” meaning they would be barred from Employment while living in the U.S., some temporarily Black Listed & some even permanently. The whole thing was a fiasco with Congress wielding little to no success of making any dent against Communism. The only thing this “Red Witch Hunt” succeeded in doing was ushering out The Golden Era Of Hollywood. Sad as Hell.
      Edward G. Robinson was one of the few A+ Actors accused of being a Communist and many Actors/Actresses/Directors came to Robinson’s side to defend their good friend. A few of those who came to Robinson’s side was Celebrities Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, James Cagney & Directors Fritz Lang & John Huston. Ever since that event, to this day Hollywood & Congress have not fared well with each other. The only difference in “New” Hollywood and “Classic” Hollywood is that back in the old days Actors & Celebrities weren’t Bat-Shit Crazy & Pretentious like today’s.
      We went from “The Rat Pack” to “One Direction”.
      Scary!
      Now it’s all Ass & no Class.
