City in Fear Summary
Director: Jud Taylor, Alan Smithee
Genres: Drama
Rating:
In his last appearance before the cameras, David_Janssen plays an alcoholic journalist desperate for a comeback. Janssen hitches his star to ruthless publisher Robert_Vaughn, who is exploiting a rash of brutal murders to sell papers. The danger here is that the unknown serial killer, who preys upon beautiful young women, is rapidly becoming a media celebrity--and may be prompted to continue killing just to see his name in print. Beyond its own potential for sensationalism, City in Fear raises several provocative questions about the responsibility (and culpability) of the press. For its March 30, 1980 premiere, City in Fear was given a two hour and fifty minute timeslot. Hal Erickson, Rovi
