...often, across the U.S., television's local news coverage veers from dull to deplorable. Bumptious reporters shove microphones into faces and ask inane questions, and cameras are trained interminably on fires and auto accidents.

Those that do, though, point the way not only for their local colleagues but also for their big-time rivals on the networks...
...importance of the first half, however, cannot be overestimated, as it shows Hitchcock at a point of maximum control of his medium. Breaking new ground in color photography, he has filmed Torn Curtain without direct lighting. Instead, he has used reflected light, bounced off a white screen on the set.

By 1962 he had fashioned an interesting if offbeat script dealing with Cervantes' windmill-tilting life. And tilting a little himself, he started collaborating with a couple of unknowns, Songwriter Mitch Leigh and Lyricist Joe Darion. Albert...
