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.
