Movie Review by B Movie Ben

June 4th, 2007

Happy 100th Ros

Ben Hecht's The Front Page has been made three times as far as I know.
Billy Wilder's version is better that the original, and certainly
better than the other four versions, but not better that this one
directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell,
who, like John Wayne last month, would be 100 today.

The repartee between Grant and Russell is fast and furious. You really
have to pay attention to catch all the jokes because they do not take a
breath the entire movie. It is fast and funny. These two are perfect
together.

It is interesting that this is the only version where Hildy is a woman.
Maybe that is why it is the best version and a classic.
