What happens

Park Row is a 1952 American independent drama film starring Gene Evans as a New York City journalist who founds a new type of newspaper in the 1880s and Mary Welch as the established publisher who opposes him. It was written, directed, produced and financed by Samuel Fuller, himself a New York reporter prior to turning to filmmaking. It was his favorite film, though it did not do well at the box office. The title refers to the street in Manhattan where most of New York City's newspapers were located. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
