Country: USA
Year: 1970
Duration: 115'
A hard-boiled anchorman arrives in New Orleans, finds work in an ultra-conservative radio station, W.U.S.A., and goes along with the reactionary politics of his sponsor. Then, along with the prostitute he is living with and a progressive activist next-door neighbor, he becomes aware of the corruption that the institutions and the media share. A preview of paranoia in Rosenberg’s honest political drama, with the strong support of Paul Newman (also producer), who considered it one of his best movies.
