A journalist on the warpath Very caustic, ironic, piercing, sarcastic, skeptical thing. Otherwise, both the advantages and dangers associated with the activities of the media, which often turn into mass insinuations, were understood then. A journalist who bravely tracks down a criminal and defends his coveted beautiful maid from him, is an archetype.
The second part of the newspaper trilogy Fritz Langa. In the first, “Blue Gardenia”, I believe that the topic of reporter “sincerity” is revealed in something even more profound, because what it looks like if a journalist, promising to support a mysterious suspect, immediately turns her over to the police! But here the satire is on the very methods and principles of the work of the huge media. Undercover squabbles, machinations, intrigues, traps, tricks, servility to the authorities and frowning subordinates. The redistribution of spheres of influence in media corporations - oh, this is a real treat for a skilled screenwriter and director, and the local director is exactly in the embodiment of successful plot outlines really knows!
It can be declared with all fervor and pathos that it is the duty of every decent journalist to inform citizens of the dangers that threaten them... which, it seems, mainly consists in the fact that the murderer will try to come up with a nickname more ingenious, say a lipstick maniac, if he leaves lipstick inscriptions. That's the kind of person who gets pitiful here at times is the killer, he's kind of very orphanishly clinging to the side of the stove. Well, what to do the poor guy, unlucky for him, the subway is kind of frightening, there are not enough people in it, journalists for some reason sometimes run very quickly, and sewer hatches are not quite in secret places. Well, of course, the Oedipus complex, along with the mother constantly looming somewhere nearby, is also present. In general, who prefers cunning maniacs, you are not here.
But, however, and reporters nothing human is not alien, and sometimes translucent dress is able to oust from the consciousness of all murderers, excessive zeal to search for fried facts and even, it is difficult to assume, their own bosses!
