Once upon a time, newspaper men and women — in all their wisecracking, get-the-story glory — could often be found performing their fact-checking up on the silver screen. Each daily in this inspired Fourth Estate series is worth a look, with many of the films still headliners: the most esteemed film of all time with Citizen Kane; the titleholder for the funniest screwball ever in His Girl Friday; and Capra galore with four titles including It Happened One Night. Other highlights include The Philadelphia Story, two by Sam Fuller, and top-shelf exposés on the biz's cold-blooded ambition with Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole and Sweet Smell of Success.
