About Man From Headquarters
A police reporter solves a murder case in Chicago, then moves on to St. Louis-but not voluntarily, since he has been kidnapped by the minions of the Windy City gang leader against whom he is scheduled to testify.
Directed by Jean Yarbrough, Man From Headquarters leans on a strong ensemble — Frank Albertson, Joan Woodbury, Dick Elliott — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1942.
