Saw a GREAT film over the weekend that I had saved on DVR for the longest time. The film is Park Row, a 1952 film by maverick independent filmmaker Samuel Fuller. If like me you have any interest whatsoever in {1} Sam Fuller, {2} the Bowery, Plug Uglies and Dead Rabbits, journalism, yellow or otherwise, newspaper wars, printing, typesetting, {3} Otto Mergenthaler and his Linotype machine, boozing, fistfights, molotov cocktails, ink-stained wretches, {4} Horace Greeley, Ben Franklin, {5} Steve Brodie and the Brooklyn Bridge, out of work cartoonists, truth, justice and the American way … seek out this rarely seen film my friends, it has it all.
