Sinopsis(1)
Una joven periodista Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), divorciada del director de su periódico, Walter Burns (Cary Grant), visita a éste por última vez para anunciarle su próxima boda con un agente de seguros, Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy), por lo que deja su trabajo para viajar a Alabama. Walter, echa mano de los más diversos recursos para que ese matrimonio no se lleve a cabo. El más contundente es poner a la periodista en el brete de aceptar o rechazar un reportaje que puede ser apasionante: reconstruir los motivos que han llevado a un hombre a asesinar a un policía de color. Así, Hildy acepta un último trabajo, entrevistar al reo que va a ser ejecutado. Pronto se da cuenta de su inocencia por lo que le ayudará a escapar escondiéndole en la sala de prensa. Hildy llama a Walter notificándole la exclusiva, por lo que Hildy y Burns serán acusados de complicidad en la fuga y de esconder al fugitivo. El caso contra los dos queda consumado cuando Balwin y su madre denuncian a Walter. (Movistar+)

It wasn't until about twenty minutes in that I realized that I was actually watching the original to Billy Wilder's famous remake, and that's when comparing the two versions made me enjoy the film even more. The newer men's version of The Front Page wins in the end, though, because it's funny from start to finish and doesn't have such a protracted denouement as His Girl Friday, which, thanks to Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, is also a male-female struggle, but a rather pointless one.

Great shooting of words, which is sometimes unbelievable. Cary Grant is breathtaking as always, but Rosalind Russell is his equal opponent and teammate. In addition, you also watch a story that makes sense and is not just about the romance between them. A perfectly working piece that amazed me with its eloquence. The screenwriters did their job well, but the actors, above all, show how natural such dialogue can be.
