I WITNESS

by Norman Alley ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 4, 1941

Fast tongued autobiography of a fast witted guy, first a photographer on the Chicago Tribune, now one of the top-spot newsreel men. Starting as a copyboy, he soon foregoes the pen to woo the graflex, and picture snatches from racetrack to prizefight ring, through murders, gangster shootings, Mexico banditry, floods and the war. After the war, he is part of such sensational enterprizes as the Flying Family. He gets stranded in Greenland. He covers the Dionnes for Metrotone. He is sent off to cover the Sino-Japanese War, where he joins forces with Jim Marshall of Colliers. He is in on the Penay fraces -- he is sent home again -- he goes off to cover the European acnes -- he goes through the invasion of the Netherlands. Quick, tough vernacular for a fast action story.
