BREAK THE NEWS
U.K., 1938
Directed by René Clair
With Jack Buchanan, Maurice Chevalier, June Knight
Approx. 78 min. 35mm.
Two struggling song-and-dance men come up with what they believe is a surefire publicity stunt, guaranteed to keep their names in the public eye—one of them will “disappear” in what looks like a murder, and the other will be convicted of the crime, but unfortunately, things don't quite go as planned.
