Man of the Century
“Meet yesterday's answer to the world of today.”
Synopsis
The sidewalks of New York will never be the same, thanks to Johnny Twennies, an ace reporter who bangs out his column on an old manual typewriter and is blissfully aware that he sticks out like a sore thubm. His girlfriend is fed up because he hasn't even kissed her and the local mob wants to bump him off because he's hot on their trail. Can Johnny blow the lid off an important crime scoop, get the girl, and keep from getting himself killed?
