Thanks Sam. We can add these to your list: Chicago Deadline and The Blue Gardenia.

Another priceless cap. When you say “newspaper noir” you open up consideration of a potent and prolific sub-genre. Perhaps the most famous in this regard is Wilder’s masterpiece ACE IN THE HOLE, but I would also think of anumber of others like ALIAS NICK BEALE, WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, SCANDAL SHEET, THE BIG CLOCK, SKAKEDOWN and DEADLINE USA, a number of which you’ve had under the microscope here at Films.Noir.net.
Another would be NIGHT EDITOR (Levin, 1946).

Hi! Tony D’Ambra,
Call Northside 777 (1948)
Director Henry Hathaway and the
DP Joe MacDonald

What a “nice” photograph with all the elements of a (film) noir in place.

By the way, what a “coincidence” the sign say Fox and that is the name of the studio that released the film Call Northside 777.

I still don’t own this film on DVD…even though I have watched it twice over there on the FMC.

Thanks, for sharing!
