Exclusive (Blu-ray)

Exclusive Alexander Hall (Goin’ to Town, Here Comes Mr. Jordan) directs Fred MacMurray (The Gilded Lily) and Frances Farmer (Among the Living) in this sensational melodrama. In a big city, two dueling newspaper editors try to out-scoop each other using different methods of journalistic integrity. Ralph Houston (MacMurray) crusades for the truth, while Charles Gillette (Lloyd Nolan) fashions tabloid-style headlines to shoot each edition off the stands like a newspaper airplane. When Ralph turns down a buyout offer from Gillette, the refusal angers his sweetheart, Vina Swain (Farmer). Vina agrees to work for the rival paper to spite Ralph and her father (Charles Ruggles), also a journalist. However, unprepared for the perils of reporting, she makes errors leading to a shocking incident and is confronted head-on with corruption in this movie Exclusive where thrills, romance—and murder—make the front page!
