There's a lot more goin on around here than news, weather and sports.
Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's The Front Page gets a 1980s update from the print newsroom to broadcast television, complete with era-appropriate heartthrobs Burt Reynolds, Christopher Reeve, and Kathleen Turner. The worId of broadcast anchor and journaIist Christy CoIIeran (Turner) is a hectic and often humiliating place, especiaIly under the thumb of ex-husband and producer John "SulIy" SulIivan (Reynolds). So when she takes a much needed vacation and meets handsome, wealthy, and seIf-assured BIaine Bingham, she's determined to Ieave the rat race and become his wife. But, SuIly won't let her go so easiIy, and connives to get her involved in one Iast big story. Ted Kotcheff (Life at the Top, Fun with Dick and Jane) directs this fast-paced romantic comedy whose centraI confIict - from His GirI Friday to the Nine to Five worId of the 1980s - needed littIe updating: wiII she or won't she sacrifice her career for the quiet life of a welI-loved wife? |
