The Front Page (1974)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 105m
Director: Billy Wilder
Cast: Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Susan Sarandon
Synopsis:
An unprincipled editor does all he can to scupper the marriage plans of his best reporter so that he can cover a public interest story.
Review:
A coarsened version of the Hecht-MacArthur original, with Matthau's character profane and not as funny, while Lemmon's is unexpectedly so. Remade again as Switching Channels (qv).
