Night Editor is a 1946 B-movie film noir directed by Henry Levin and based on a popular radio program of the same name. The script for the film was based on a previous radio program episode "Inside Story." The movie was to be the first in a series of films featuring stories about the graveyard-shift police beat reporters at fictional newspaper, the New York Star, but no other Night Editor films were made.
