One Of My Favorite Comedies!

Gets better and better with each viewing. This is a highly enjoyable and entertaining remake of His Girl Friday and The Front Page. Ted Kotcheff (First Blood:Rambo, Whose Killing the Great Chefs of Europe-also one of the producers of Law and Order Special Victims Unit) directs with terrific pacing and a wonderfully likeable cast that includes Henry Gibson, Kathleen Turner(giving one of her absolute best performances-which is saying quite a lot), Christopher Reeve in a brilliant and over the top comedic turn, Burt Reynolds (charming as usual) and Ned Beatty who basically steals the show from everyone in every single scene he is in. I love this movie! It has been coming on cable for years and it is having seen this film literally over a hundred times that I realize just how good it really is...It is HIGHLY underappreciated. Very funny, well made and lots of fun. Great script. One of the better remakes.

don't compare it to the Cary Grant movie....enjoy it for what it is!

I LOVE this movie...I think its funny, fast, the actors are all spot on. I picked up a copy at amazon.co.uk (its available widescreen DVD in UK) and just watched it again...and unlike many movies I remember as funny but don't work when you see them years later....it was a hoot! All the cast is terrific...and the support players like the great Ned Beatty and Henry Gibson are equally energized and cooking. I saw this in the theatre...years before watching the His Girl Friday with Cary Grant on DVD and I don't understand the reason to compare and despair .....its possible to enjoy them both..i do!

Deserving the DVD treatment

Turner is unstoppable, Reynolds is his smarmy, manipulative best, and Reeve is...so darned statuesque, even in the elevator scene, in a just-right comedic turn. Excellent performances right down to his honor, the Gov. A fun romp.

I keep looking, hoping for a DVD release. But alas.

A Great Remake

This is a great remake of The Front Page!!! They did a good job of brining the story from newspaper to TV. A very enjoyable comedy!
