“SEE THE BIG FIGHT!”
ComedyRomance
When a small-town girl is incorrectly diagnosed with a rare, deadly disease, an unknowing newspaper columnist turns her into a national heroine.
VIBE
A dizzying, rapid-fire satire on media sensationalism and public gullibility. This film crackles with witty banter and a sharp, cynical edge, all wrapped in the charming chaos of a classic screwball romance.
