Humphrey Bogart and a strong supporting cast star in the film noir “Deadline – U. S. A.” Boggie plays a crusading newspaper editor whose staff is in the middle of an investigation into organized crime when the owner decides to sell the paper. Very high drama here splendidly directed and written by Richard Brooks (“Blackboard Jungle” 1955).
Co-stars include Ethel Barrymore as the newspaper owner, Fay Baker and Joyce MacKenzie as her daughters, Kim Hunter as Boggie’s ex-wife, Warren Stevens, Ed Begley, Jim Backus, Joe DeSantis, Martin Gable, and James Dean in a small part as a copyboy, one of his first roles. The very watchable black-and-white crime drama “Deadline – U. S. A.” was popular in theatrical release for producer Sol C. Siegel and 20th Century Fox.
