    This is a HUGE gem of a video clip. Thanks a million for sharing this. The ticker-style delivery of the legendary Walter Winchell is timeless. A classic that may never be duplicated. One of the most powerful journalists in American history. Could make or break careers in entertainment and politics. His newspaper columns attracted millions of readers, just as his radio and television news programs attracted millions of listeners and viewers.

    Whatever's been said about Walter, no one can deny his remarkable, attention-grabbing delivery. He was definitely one of a kind.
    I could listen to him till my ears melt.

    For the film, "The Sweet Smell of Success" (UA, 1957) it was said that Bert Lancaster's character, the sleazy J.J. Hunsecker, was based on Winchell. Take a good listen to Winchell's anti-Soviet Russia rant. 💙💙💙

      A superb film! It was based on Winchell and was the start of the decline of his power when people learned how evil he was.

    Just finished watching a very good documentary on him, Walter Winchell: The Power of Gossip. He certainly blended entertainment and news in a new way and made himself the lead of the story, whether true or made up. His contemporary Ed Sullivan said that Winchell had too much power, and he might have added if he didn't, that he used it to ruin the lives of many for no reason other than they crossed him or it would bring him additional fame or fortune. After ABC canceled this TV show and the radio broadcast, and the newspaper column ended, it was finally over.

    At the time, Gruen sponsored Winchell on radio and TV, on Sundays, at *two* different times. The TV version was seen at 6:45pm(et); his traditional radio broadcast was heard at 9pm(et).

    No parody of this could be funnier than the original.But on the other hand ,Winchell,his rat-a-tat style notwithstanding, occasionally had some worthwhile commentary

      @@jhlfsc Actually Winchell's politics leaned heavily democratic. He was a staunch supporter of FDR and was very outspoken about the red scare created by the republican's in the 1950's.
      Also, the first cable news channel to put a totally liberal or conservative slant on their news reporting was CNN in 1980. Fox did not come about until 1996.

      That’s a Morse Code key. Winchell is using it to emulate a telegraph to make the news sound more urgent. He’s not actually keying anything intelligible. It’s just for effect.
