Edmond O’Brien – then during his brief, odd reign as a leading man (I think people enjoyed tubby tough guys after the war) – is perfectly cast as a reporter who investigates the death of another reporter, a big time columnist… and the photographer who was left with the dead reporter. This leads him to uncovering a bunch of war profiteers and fifth columnists – perhaps a bit late in the day for this sort of plot but it’s effective enough. This was turned into a movie, The Argyle Album, by director Cy Endfield. It was also previously recorded by Suspense with Robert Taylor.
