{"product_id":"big-news","title":"Big News","description":"Hard-drinking newspaper reporter Steve Banks is working on a big story - perhaps the biggest of his career. He learns that the speak-easy he frequents is also a front for a narcotics ring. The owner, a shady crook named Reno, tries to squelch Steve's scoop by putting pressure on the publisher to fire him. When that plan fails, Reno frames Steve for the murder of the paper's editor. With an already nasty reputation as a violent drunkard, Steve will be hard-pressed to prove his innocence to the hordes of policemen descending on the press room to arrest him.\u003cp\u003eLike \u003ci\u003eHis Girl Friday\u003c\/i\u003e, which followed 11 years later, \u003ci\u003eBig News\u003c\/i\u003e is a fast-paced crime caper with a script full of snappy dialogue, and even features a husband and wife team of ace reporters.
