The Front Page (1931)




Overlooking the gallows behind the jail a group of reporters from most of the city's newspapers are passing the time with poker and pungent wisecracks about the news of the day and soon they'll witness the hanging of a convicted murderer.

This is an early classic adaptation of the famous Ben Hecht/Charles MacArthur play, it's a bit dusty by now, but still offers a lot of fun.
