Journalists have also been portrayed in films that aren't specifically about newspapers, appearing in noir films like Woman on the Run (1950), westerns such as Fort Worth (1951), comedies like The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966), musicals like Wake Up and Live (1937) and historical epics like Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
