Millionaires in Prison (1940) as Reporter (uncredited)

By using the unreliable IMDB and by way of elimination I am only assuming that the guy on the far left of the picture is Donald McNamee. Unfortunately there is no other film of the era to go on and he died of a skull fracture the year of this film's release. The other reporters in this photo are Brooks Benedict and Eddie Hart and the photographer with his back to us is unknown, presumably because we never see his face.
