The Front Page
“It's the hottest story since the Chicago fire...and they're sitting on it.”
Comedy
Ruthless Chicago newspaper editor Walter Burns resorts to dubious motives in order to get top reporter Hildy Johnson to cover one more big crime story before retirement.
VIBE
A whirlwind of frantic energy and sharp wit. This film crackles with the chaotic spirit of old-school journalism, where deadlines loom and personal lives are constantly on the back burner. It's a hilarious, cynical dive into the newspaper world.
