Is this the stuff of comedy? It is in the hands of Hecht and MacArthur, former newspapermen with plenty to say about the cutthroat tactics of journalists.

By far the highest honors in this go to Mr. Menjou, who gives as polished a performance of a gruff and unscrupulous editor as he used to give of a man about town.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Has its share of funny lines and characters, but it's not nearly as funny as the most famous remake, 1940's His Girl Friday.

Rating: B+ --
Milestone's seminal newspaper drama launched a whole cycle of films and set the patterns for sagas about behind-the-scenes operations of tabloids.

Brilliantly cinematic version of the play pales next to the energy of His Girl Friday.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien star in the screen version of the Broadway hit about big city news reporting. Edward Everett Horton, Mary Brian, and Slim Summerville are also featured in this classic from director Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Wester Front) and producer Howard Hughes. The Front Page not only paved the way for all newsroom comedies to come, but it's probably the funniest film ever made about a hanging!
