Double Feature: Read All About It!

Directed with pre-Code verve by Lewis Milestone, the first screen adaptation of The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur stars Adolphe Menjou and Pat O’Brien as a newspaper editor and his ace reporter. For his whirlwind remake, director Howard Hawks had the O’Brien role rewritten for Rosalind Russell, who stars opposite Cary Grant in one of the funniest, fastest-talking screwball comedies of the 1940s.
