Howard Hawks' rip-roaring remake of the classic newspaper comedy The Front Page, with the pivotal role assigned to a woman (Rosalind Russell) instead of a man.

Charles Lederer's brilliantly tart script gives Roz and Cary Grant (as her managing editor and ex-husband) some memorable exchanges as Hawks overlaps scenes and dialogue to carry the black farce along at helter-skelter speed.

Certainly the kind of film they can't make anymore, as Billy Wilder found when he tried to film the original with a great cast but only moderate success in 1974.
