Hildy Johnson vient de divorcer de Walter Burns, le rédacteur en chef du journal pour lequel elle travaille. Elle annonce à son ex-mari qu'elle démissionne pour se marier à Bruce Baldwin, un assureur qui mène une vie calme. Mais Walter lui demande de couvrir un dernier évènement : l'exécution d'un condamné à mort qui clame son innocence. Hildy interviewe le condamné qui en profite pour s'échapper. Convaincue de son innocence, Hildy le cache dans les locaux du journal. (Bach Films)

It wasn't until about twenty minutes in that I realized that I was actually watching the original to Billy Wilder's famous remake, and that's when comparing the two versions made me enjoy the film even more. The newer men's version of The Front Page wins in the end, though, because it's funny from start to finish and doesn't have such a protracted denouement as His Girl Friday, which, thanks to Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, is also a male-female struggle, but a rather pointless one.

Great shooting of words, which is sometimes unbelievable. Cary Grant is breathtaking as always, but Rosalind Russell is his equal opponent and teammate. In addition, you also watch a story that makes sense and is not just about the romance between them. A perfectly working piece that amazed me with its eloquence. The screenwriters did their job well, but the actors, above all, show how natural such dialogue can be.
