For noir New York flavor, the movie Side Street is great -- including the opening aerial shot of the skinny towers downtown -- but I liked Scandal Sheet even more. The title tabloid's ink-stained cynics throw a "lonely hearts" ball to boost circulation, where the grand prize, listed above, is a bed with a built in TV.

Above, a couple of lonely hearts -- pressed by the tabloid's ace reporter -- have agreed to get hitched. When they come off stage after the announcement, the new groom asks "We are gonna get that bed with the built in TV, right?"Later, on the trail of a murderer, the ace reporter and his sidekick interview a lineup of Bowery bums. After a good long look at a dozen or so alcoholic faces, the sidekick quips "I will never, ever, touch another drop."
PS: Considering that the photos here are direct from my built in TV set, I think they came out pretty good.
