Entertainment Reviews:
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.

Rating: 4/5 --
Brilliantly cinematic version of the play pales next to the energy of His Girl Friday.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
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.

The Nation
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.

Product Description:
The first screen version of Hecht and McArthur's classic comedy about Chicago newspapermen in the 1920s, THE FRONT PAGE stars Pat O'Brien as ace reporter Hildy Johnson. On the verge of getting married and leaving the profession, Johnson is hooked in to do one last story for his scheming editor Walter Burns (Adolph Menjou). When Clarence Williams (George E. Stone), an anarchist convicted of murder and scheduled for imminent execution, escapes, Johnson stumbles across the convict and hides him from the corrupt sheriff (Clarence H. Wilson) in order to get the scoop on the story.
