About This Item
Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1952. Two vintage publicity photographs taken at a special premiere of the 1952 film, held in New York at the Waldorf-Astoria's Starlight Roof. One photograph shows director Samuel Fuller with New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons, and the other shows Fuller with Hearst Foundation executive Richard Berlin and King Features Syndicate columnist George Sokolsky. Both photographs with printed snipes affixed to the versos, along with "Photofest" labels.
Generally considered one of Fuller's greatest early achievements, "Park Row" takes place in the red-hot newspaper scene of 1880s New York City, where every kind of newspaper-from those being championed by Joseph Pulitzer to the multitude of yellow-rag tabloids-held sway over the public's attention and opinion. The plot concerns an upstart newspaper, The Globe, that is founded by an employee fired by an established one, resulting in a circulation war.
Snipes note that the special premiere was held specifically for newspaper publishers, and was attended by over 600 publishers and editors.
10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light creasing on the center of the top edge and the left edge from paper clips.
