DESCRIPTION:

Based on the 1931 play "The Front Page" by Ben Hecht (Notorious Angels Over Broadway) and directed by Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) this fast-paced screwball comedy stars the impeccable Cary Grant as Walter Burns the unscrupulous editor of the Chicago tabloid. Rosalind Russell co-stars as Hildy Johnson ace reporter and ex-wife of Burns. Convinced that the newspaper can print an article that will save the life of a man sentenced to hang for a murder he didn't commit Burns needs Hildy to write the front-page story. Unfortunately Hildy has just announced that she's quitting the newspaper business and about to remarry. Witty rapid-fire dialogue replaces sight gags as Burns attempts to charm the conflicted Hildy into returning to her job. . . and to him!System Requirements:Running Time: 92 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/CLASSICS UPC: 798622308528 Manufacturer No: WLV3085
