Speaking of "-30-," (see previous post) here’s a still of Jack Webb and William Conrad that I dug out of the archives.
I’m especially fond of this picture. For many years, there was a huge enlargement of it by the Metro news desk.
For comparison, here’s an undated photo of the Herald Examiner staff I borrowed from somebody’s desk at The Times. Newspaper lore held that "-30-" was filmed in the Examiner Building. Like many wonderful myths, it wasn’t true. Research revealed that Webb built a duplicate of the newsroom on a sound stage.

Is -30- any good? Worth watching? What about the Cagney movie based on Jim Richardson, Come Fill The Cup? Have you seen it?
— I wouldn’t call “-30-” a great movie. I’m not sure I would even call it a good movie. It’s a Jack Webb film that is to journalism what “Dragnet” is to the LAPD.
–To those of us who work in the newspaper business in L.A. it’s a very amusing film, like a favorite but eccentric uncle. I can’t imagine it would be all that interesting to anybody who hasn’t worked at a newspaper.
–I’ve never seen the Cagney film. I did get the book years ago and read it, but I don’t have much recollection of it at the moment. Which should tell you something.
