The Front Page (1931) – Classic Newspaper Comedy at Its Fastest!

Step back into the breakneck world of early 20th‑century journalism with The Front Page (1931) — a legendary pre‑Code comedy packed with sharp dialogue, newsroom chaos, and unforgettable performances from Adolphe Menjou and Pat O’Brien.
Based on the hit Broadway play, this film helped define the fast‑talking, rapid‑fire style that would later shape screwball comedies and newsroom dramas for decades.
Plot:
Star reporter Hildy Johnson wants to quit the newspaper business and settle down — but his editor, the manipulative and charismatic Walter Burns, will do anything to keep him on the job. When a major story breaks, Hildy is pulled back into the madness of the press room for one last wild ride.
Why This Film Matters:
• One of the earliest and most influential newsroom comedies
• Nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards
• A cornerstone of pre‑Code Hollywood
• Public domain classic, beloved by film historians and vintage cinema fans
Enjoy this restored version of a timeless comedy that still feels fresh, funny, and brilliantly chaotic.
