PARK ROW (Masters of Cinema) Original Theatrical Trailer

"Park Row is one of the greatest love letters in the history of film, and it's a love letter to journalism." -- Quentin Tarantino "Brimming with passion and conviction -- just like its hero, and its creator." -- Leonard Maltin "Park Row continues to stun through its outrageousness, which at inspired moments becomes a worship of pure energy." -- Jonathan Rosenbaum, Film Comment Iconic American filmmaker Samuel Fuller began his career as a tabloid reporter, and thrillingly drew on those skills and experiences in his extraordinary labour-of-love Park Row. An exhilarating tribute to the ideals of the free press and noble popular journalism, this two-fisted tale of battles on and off the printed page in 1880s New York is a major American rediscovery. When Phineas Mitchell (Gene Evans), a visionary newspaperman, launches his own title The Globe, his eye-catching headlines and approach quickly catch fire with the New York readership. But less impressed is Charity Hackett (Mary Welch), proprietor of long-established rival The Star, and attempts to undercut The Globe soon escalate into all-out war. Packing more dynamite into eight reels than most directors unleash over a career, Fuller's self-financed Park Row is a passionate, idiosyncratic work of gritty myth-making. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Park Row for the first time for home viewing in the UK, released in the UK on DVD on 22 October 2012.
