Description

"Headless Body in a Topless Bar’ ran on The New York Post’s front page on April
15, 1983. As witty as it was horrific, it expressed with unflinching precision the
city’s accelerating tailspin into crime and chaos.

This documentary looks at the fast-paced process of producing a daily tabloid, the
New York Post. The headline captures the unique flavor of this newspaper, from
picking eye-popping front page headlines to touting celebrities. Producers
received unprecedented access to the people and places of this infamous New
York tabloid, from the newsroom, to the pressroom, to the reporters and
photographers on the street."
