The title works with the newspaper background.
It's one of the best crime dramas I've ever watched. The subject fits with what goes on in the city even today.

Call Northside 777
One of James Stewart's best performances of the true story of an innocent man wrongfully imprisoned for 40 years of killing a Chicago policeman. James Stewart plays a newspaper reporter for a Chucago newspaper who investigates a newspaper ad, Call Northside 777 if you have any information on the killing of a Chicago cop in 1933. The wrongfully guilty man, played wonderfully by Richard Conte, whose already been in prison for 12 years whose mother placed the ad & is offering a reward of $5000 for any information on the murder. She's been scrubbing floors all this time saving up for the reward. Stewart meticulously checks out clues leading him thru Chicago neighborhoods looking for any witnesses or information. Based in the true story filmed in 1948.

Well worth your time.
Great film noir! Well written, directed and acted. And the best part is it's a true story of a mother's love and faith, and a skeptical reporter's dogged courage. Fast-paced and engaging.
