"Five Star Final" is a 1931 American crime film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Plot

Robinson plays the city editor of a tabloid newspaper who reluctantly agrees to the publisher's idea to increase circulation: a retrospective series on a murder and scandal of twenty years before, involving a secretary who shot the man who impregnated her and then refused to marry her. The woman, now married to a good man and with a daughter about to marry into a socially prominent family, reacts with horror at the renewed interest in the scandal she had put behind her.
