Discussion of "Scandal Sheet"
Details
Scandal Sheet (1952) is an American film noir directed by Phil Karlson and starring Broderick Crawford, Donna Reed, and John Derek. The strong supporting cast includes Rosemary DeCamp, Harry Morgan, and Strother Martin.
Mark Chapman (Crawford) is a newspaperman with a lot of experience in the business. He has turned the New York Express into a successful paper by focusing on the sensational. Steve McCleary (Derek) is the paper’s ace reporter and likely successor to Chapman. Julie Allison (Reed) is the features editor who is growing weary of the paper’s turn toward yellow journalism.
When Chapman is confronted by his estranged wife (DeCamp), things begin to unravel. Will Chapman become the subject of his own scandal sheet?
