Casey is a hot shot photographer in college but finds that now that he's left school breaking into the newspaper biz is much harder. Managing to get a foot in the door because the editor finds he has a photograph he wants buried, Casey finds himself working as an assistant with someone else getting credit for all his work. Casey's one bright spot seems to be a budding romance with the society editor and advice columnist. Things take a turn when he befriends the editor of a pictorial magazine and his photos end up being used for blackmail purposes by racketeers. Program film in the truest sense of the word, this is film that seems to be constructed from parts from the script writers hand book, take collegiate student, add romance, mix in newspaper setting add in racketeers and stir. It seems artificial and constructed in exactly the sort of way that real life, or even normal reel life isn't. Its not a bad movie, its certainly something that you can watch, but its not something that you'll care about. I got about 15 or 20 minutes in and found that while I was interested in what was happening, I hung around to the end, I ended up doing other things in front of the TV (and while I frequently multitask in front of the tube I was more interested in what I was doing rather than what I was watching). If you run a cross the film you can give it a shot but I wouldn't go out of my way to track it down.
