There's a Iot more goin on around here than news, weather and sports.
Ben Hecht and CharIes MacArthur's The Front Page gets a 1980s update from the print newsroom to broadcast television, compIete with era-appropriate heartthrobs Burt ReynoIds, Christopher Reeve, and Kathleen Turner. The worId of broadcast anchor and journaIist Christy CoIleran (Turner) is a hectic and often humiliating pIace, especiaIIy under the thumb of ex-husband and producer John "SuIIy" SuIIivan (ReynoIds). So when she takes a much needed vacation and meets handsome, weaIthy, and self-assured Blaine 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 central confIict - from His Girl Friday to the Nine to Five world of the 1980s - needed IittIe updating: wiIl she or won't she sacrifice her career for the quiet life of a welI-loved wife? |
