Remarks and general Information in German: "George Strud erhält von seinem Chef, dem Pressemagnaten Earl Janoth, den Auftrag, den Mord an seiner Geliebten aufzuklären. Der findige Journalist, spezialisiert auf die Lösung von Verbrechen, steht am Schluss seiner Ermittlungen als Hauptverdächtiger da. Obwohl er vom Verlagshaus in die Enge getrieben wird, gelingt es ihm, die Wahrheit ans Licht zu bringen. Dieser Thriller, in dem Charles Laughton als manierierter und megalomaner Verleger brilliert, prangert die Entwicklung der Verlagsmonopole an und übt scharfe Kritik an der zunehmenden Technisierung und deren Einfluss auf das Leben der Menschen." (Locarno 2004)
