content: I am in love with film. The Ben Hecht script is priceless, the acting extraordinary. This is, of course, a black and white film, and it has a distinct play like feel about it (no exterior shots, limited number of interior sets). Of course it was based on the play "The Front Page".However, the reproduction of this classic was just plain awful. I see that reviewers recommend the Columbia Classics version. I wish I had read those reviews first.
