The Man Who Sold Himself [157302] Released: 1959-03-12 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 98 mins Popularity: 0.4723 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: Meant to be a diatribe against yellow journalism and current social ills, this weakly limned drama by Josef von Baky features a reporter who works for one of the tabloid papers. The reporter digs up dirt on the past life of a local hotel owner, and wanting to take full advantage of the muck, he strings out his revelations in a series of perjorative, damning articles on the man. The result of this campaign turns out to be much worse than simply ruining the hotel owner's reputation.
