| Rhoda Fleming, Sally Forrest, and Ida Lupino in While the City Sleeps (1956) |
- While the City Sleeps (1956) - Dana Andrews (as Edward Mobley), Ida Lupino (as Mildred Donner), Rhonda Fleming (as Dorothy Kyne), Sally Forrest (as Nancy Liggett), Thomas Mitchell (as Jon Day Griffith), Vincent Price (as Walter Kyne), Howard Duff (as Lt. Burt Kaufman), George Sanders (as Mark Loving), John Barrymore Jr (as Robert Manners). Great all-star cast picture. Following the death of his father, Walter Kyne creates a contest in which the heads of his multiple press divisions go head to head to win the job of leader of the company. What becomes the test is finding out who the "Lipstick Killer", ably played by Barrymore, is. It was a fun look into how newsrooms used to be: the busy out-scooping dog-eat-dog world of news. The only person I wasn't a fan of was Sally Forrest as Nancy Liggett. Everyone around her completely out-acted her. She stuck out as a sore thumb. Not intriguing, but supposed to be the girl everyone wants. Just blah.
