About Making the Headlines
Angry, because he is making too many headlines with his gang-busting activities, the police chief transfers Lt. Lewis Nagel to the sleepy suburban town of Fairview, where he is followed by reporter Steve Withers because he knows Nagel will find a story.
Directed by Lewis D. Collins, Making the Headlines leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Holt, Beverly Roberts, Craig Reynolds — 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 mystery titles of 1938.
