Summary: Front Page
Comment: This a classic, from the Ben Hecht, James McArthur play of the same name.
With Jack Lemmon as Hildy Jhonson and and Walter Mathau as his editor
Walter Burns, it is a laugh a minute.

Summary: What would be great
Comment: What would be great is a release of this version along with a rightfully restored version of the 1931 Howard Hughes' production of Front Page, much like Warner's did with the House of Wax and the Mystery of the Wax Museum!!!

Summary: Okay, but not as good as the original or first remake...
Comment: This is the remake of a remake. The original "Front Page" (1931) was a great movie. It was remade in 1940 as "His Girl Friday." This 1974 remake is not quite as good as the original or the first remake, but is 10 times better than the 1988 remake ("Switching Channels"). The main problem with this movie is that the attempt at "adding jokes" distracts away from humorous situations. Carol Burnett's performance as the killer's girlfriend is absolutely horrible. All that aside, it is still an entertaining story, but stick to the original or the 1940's remake.
