Description:
"Behind the News" is a fast-paced story set in a bustling city newsroom. Lloyd Nolan stars as a jaded reporter who often takes unnecessary risks. Frank Albertson plays a young, eager journalism graduate whose arrival is unwelcome by Nolan and his colleagues. However, it's Albertson who, after a run-in with the law, plays a key role in exposing a criminal organization. "Behind the News" was later adapted by Republic Pictures as "Headline Hunters."
