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.

A very well-shot and, above all, very well-preserved and restored film, which has been in existence for over 80 years, approaching its 90th anniversary, yet doesn't show its age at all. The acting is very good, and the plot is not bad either. It turns out that even old works can survive for a long time if they are good.
