What's The Greatest Newspaper Crime Movie Ever Made? Newsman Keith Roysdon Investigates A Favorite Sub-Genre Of Crime.


As a writer who has covered the crime beat for newspapers for a good number of years, as well as a life-long film buff, I’m naturally drawn to newspaper crime films. 

Ace in the Hole, His Gal Friday, The Front Page and – 30 – are some of my favorites, and Keith Roysdon, a veteran newspaper reporter, mentions them and other films in his piece on newspaper crime films for CrimeReads.com. 

As Roysdon notes in his piece, newspapers and crime are a natural fit for film.  

You can read the piece via the below link:
