Interesting facts
Scandal for Sale is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by Russell Mack and starring Charles Bickford, Rose Hobart and Pat O'Brien. The film's sets were designed by the art director Charles D. Hall. The plot is adapted from Emile Gauvreau's novel, "Hot News", which drew from Gauvreau's personal experiences as a newspaper editor. While the film's title suggests a deep dive into the world of journalism, it somewhat glosses over the novel's intricate commentary, especially when compared to contemporaneous films like "Five Star Final" (1931), which approached the subject matter with more intensity.
