Tödliche Schlagzeilen (1985)
Gegen die "Inside World" sind andere Illustrierte hohe Literatur. Das Blut- und Tränenblatt liegt an den Supermarktkassen aus. Zeitungsverleger Harold Fallen kennt keine Skrupel. Die einzige Ambition, die er hat, ist mit reißerischen Schlagzeilen die Auflage steigern. Journalistische Ethik oder Menschenwürde interessieren ihn nicht. Seine neue Star-Reporterin heißt Helen Greco. Für 80.000 Dollar im Jahr sagt sie bei Fallen zu. Ihr Auftrag: Helen soll die Alkohol- und Eheprobleme des Ex-Filmstars Ben Rowan ans Licht zerren. Erst als sich herausstellt, daß dessen Frau ihre beste Freundin ist, gerät Helen über ihr Tun ins Zweifeln und sie beginnt die Machenschaften Fallens zu durchschauen.
Der Regisseur: David Lowell Rich
