Szenzacio (1937)
The "szenzacio," or "sensation," of the title refers to the editorial policy of a Budapest newspaper. Hoping to increase circulation, the editor insists that his reporters concentrate on three sensational stories. One of these concerns a mine cave-in; the second involves a runaway husband who joins a circus knife-throwing act; and the third centers on a small-town festival honoring the birthday of Franz Liszt (who makes a surprise appearance, in flashback form). As the reporters go about their business, the causes and consequences of the three news items are explored in dramatic and sometimes comic detail. Stefen Szekely and Ladislau Vajda, two of Hungary's foremost directors, combined their talents for Szenzacio. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
