The Power of the Press, the 1928 Frank Capra (billed as "Frank R. Capra") silent romantic newspaper journalism murder crime melodrama (about a rookie reporter who is sent out to cover a murder, and he thinks he discovers who the killer is, a pretty young woman, and he writes a story about that, and then she comes to him and swears she is innocent, and he helps her prove it) starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Jobyna Ralston, Mildred Harris, Philo McCullough, and Wheeler Oakman. Note that legendary director Frank Capra had gotten his start in 1924 when he was hired by Hal Roach as a gag writer. However, he wanted to become a director, and Roach refused, and Capra went to work for Mack Sennett, writing for Harry Langdon comedy shorts. In 1925, when Langdon left Sennett, Capra went with him, and he wrote several of Langdon's best comedies, including "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" and "The Strong Man", which Capra also directed. Another Langdon short, "Long Pants", was his next movie, but he was having a falling out with Langdon, and after that movie was completed, Langdon fired Capra, and decided to direct his own movies (like Charlie Chaplin), but those movies did poorly, while of course, Frank Capra soon went to Columbia, where he became increasingly successful with movies like this one, and a couple of years later, he became their number one director, and he had a long string of massive hits in the 1930s and 1940s, including "It Happened One Night", "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town", and many others!
