Plots(1)
The Front Page follows hard-boiled crime reporter Hildy Johnson (Pat O'Brien) who has vowed to quit the business and marry his new sweetheart (Mary Brian). But when a political radical (George E. Stone) escapes from custody on the eve of his hanging, the reporter's room is plunged into comedic chaos, and Hildy's brash editor (Adolphe Menjou) sees it as an opportunity to manipulate the reporter into staying. (Criterion)
