Not the finest adaptation of the oft-visited source material, but hey, it's Wilder, Lemmon, and Matthau!

Even though the mechanics and demands of movie-making slow what should be the furious tempo, this Front Page displays a giddy bitterness that is rare in any films except those of Mr. Wilder. It is also, much of the time, extremely funny.

Matthau and Lemmon put in their usual faultless turns, but cannot lift a pervading air of pointlessness.

This third version of the 1928 smash play is only mildly entertaining; Billy Wilder has no new take on the text and his stars may be too old.

not up to the original

This slick remake of the ebullient original falls short of being the film it could have been, despite the presence of master filmmaker Wilder and his engaging costars.
