The Man Who Sold Himself

[BE THE FIRST TO RATE THIS MOVIE]
Calorie Rating: 138
Released: 1959-03-12
Running Time: 98 Minutes
Studios: Filmaufbau,


Meant to be a diatribe against yellow journalism and current social ills, this weakly limned drama by Josef von Baky features a reporter who works for one of the tabloid papers. The reporter digs up dirt on the past life of a local hotel owner, and wanting to take full advantage of the muck, he strings out his revelations in a series of perjorative, damning articles on the man. The result of this campaign turns out to be much worse than simply ruining the hotel owner's reputation.
