Murder Is News (1937) MYSTERY 

Very enjoyable it's amazing how much plot can be crammed into 55 minutes. Thank you for posting.

The Daily Planet's OTHER star reporter. This could have been a series. Thanks so much for finding and posting these gems.

The star, John Gallaudet, would later play Judge Penner in 20 cases of the Perry Mason TV series from 1961-1966.

Even if life was not precisely this way in 1937, the movies are still great to watch. It sounds like the radio personality was trying to be another Walter Winchell?

Murder Is News, release dates December 1937 (UK), 1 March 1939 USA (premiere), 17 June 1939 (New York City, New York). John Gallaudet as Jerry Tracy, Iris Meredith as Ann Leslie, George McKay as 'Brains' McGillicuddy, Doris Lloyd as Pauline Drake, John Hamilton as David Corning, John Graham Spacey (as John G. Spacey) as Fred Hammer, Frank C. Wilson as Tony Peyden, Colin Kenny as Inspector Fitzgerald, William McIntyre as Edgar Drake, Fred Bass as R. A. Snyder, Douglas Flintoff as Hodkins, Michael Heppell as Thompson, Doreen MacGregor, Hatcheck Girl, Rebel Mouat, Taxicab Driver.

PF, great movie thanks for finding these lost gems 💎 😊

A very watchable movie!

Me encantan películas de años 30-40-50 Siempre hay dinámica y son muy interesante y cada tema es algo con moraleja.Gracias por subirla! Good lake!

2:20--There was a fictional ABC radio network in this movie, just 6 years before a real ABC radio network was formed from a forced sale of NBC's Blue network. 16:24--Did someone say "Daily Planet"? If so, then this was just before the Superman comic books came out. And that reporter was in the office of David Corning, played by the previously mentioned John Hamilton. Now who knew then that John Hamilton would go from playing someone who got questioned by a "Daily Planet" reporter to playing a "Daily Planet" editor on TV?

The dark scenes early in the film have confused me and now I've lost all hope.I need a glass of water,a sit down and a journey in my time machine and arrange a date with Irene Dunne.

I enjoyed this 🤗thanks

Wow talk about fast talkers this film is insane

That radio announcer sounds like an auctioneer.

Thank you very good movie enjoyed it

Loved it x

The comments at PF’s films are priceless, imho. Folks who watch these make up a pretty cool group. Pretty good flick, even though the plot is a bit much, but an enjoyable watch nonetheless. Good for clothes and decor, too. I’m wondering who the band was in the opening scene. Thanks, PF. :)

thank you

Great show!

They never glove up before touching blood in these old flicks.

Fun flick! There's a SEQUEL to this, "MANHATTAN SHAKEDOWN". I wonder if anyone out there has a copy of it?

I saw this movie last year in I wish you guys would post newer old film noir movies.

I hate movies that are so dark you can't see a damn thing. I mean, yes it's night but you should be able to see something.

In a twist of irony, The Daily Planet is mentioned in this movie, which also has Actor, John Hamilton in it. Ironically, John Hamilton, in about 15 years, would go on to play the role of Perry White, Editor of The Daily Planet in The TV Show, The Adventures of Superman, the newspaper that Jerry Tracy Character is The Star Reporter for. Let me know what you think

This movie would be longer if that guy didn't talk so fast😅

A reporter from the Daily Planet to the editor of the Daily Planet 16:25

everyone must speak in a hurry? A reporter can harrass all people? Can anybody say a quiet line? Uh, I got tired!

Fun flick. There's always a dumb acting side kick. Be it a reporter's or a cop's. Sometimes over the top boorish.

감사합니다

Good Movie 🎬

Why didn't they just check to see if the man was on the ship to Paris ,or wherever??!!

Doris Lloyd sure was elegant/beautiful👌

nice flick.

Only lead role for veteran character actor Gallaudet. Always great to see Perry White (John Hamilton)

Great Caesars ghost! It's Perry White from Superman starring in the movie!

Hey, the villain wasn't such a bad guy. Too bad he got plugged.

The dark scenes are just blotted out.

Another 👍 ☝😆

Why were these old movies filmed in darkness? Poor lighting technique? Hard to see until more than half a minute. Asking for a friend!

Doris Lloyd was always 'dowded down' by the makeup department to look older. But I still found her to be very attractive.

That ending for the suspect was kinda dumb... but good movie overall!

I can't figure this out..how can that Tony boy be Mr. Drake's son and his step-son? The mom said she was divorcing Drake so she has to be Tony's mom...?

Esta en muy mal estado y es muy oscura e imposible de mirar.

Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a movie newspaper reporter character who wasn't brash, wise-cracking and who spoke his lines at a conversational tone and pace, instead of in a steady hysteria?

👍😊

What happen with Mrs Drake's son? Was he killed?

Nice to see Perry White with dark hair??

53:50 police forgot to keep shooting after he fell

The most beautiful woman in Westchester? Really???

FUN

Reporter talks too fast and he’s too nosy. He should be a police officer.

Oh, the decadence of the idle rich !! Fear God or perish !

Take all the Oscar winning movies put them in a wafer proof container and float them iff to China.i find more entertainment value in one of these old B & W made before the 60s.

I can't stand these old shit films, but I spend hours watching them.
