Product Description
Product Description
Comedy / Characters: 17 males, 5 females
Set Requirements: Interior
An irresistible comedy with thrills and derring do set in the news room. Hildy wants to break away from journalism and go on a belated honeymoon. There is a jailbreak and into Hildy's hands falls the escapee as hostage. He conceals his prize in a rolltop desk and phones his scoop to his managing editor. Their job is to prevent other reporters and the sheriff from opening the desk and finding their story. Some hoods are enlisted to remove the desk, but they get mixed up with a Boy Scout troop and the mayor and a cleaning woman, among others. It's a whirlwind wrap up with Hildy finally making his breakaway, but the cynical managing editor has him arrested before he leaves town for having stolen a watch he planted on Hildy.
"Gorgeously melodramatic. One of the funniest and most exciting of American plays." N.Y. Times.

If You Love The Front Page
4 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you love "The Front Page" you're going to love this work detailing the reality behind the drama. An excellent and exhaustive bit of research that sometimes over reaches in its attempt to connect the text of the play with the reality of Hecht's and McArthur's life as Chicago working journalists, nevertheless, this is an invaluable work for my research. I appreciate the care and detail in the basic research. An excellent source book.

The Front Page
19 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Regrettably I did not like this play and did not finish reading the whole thing. It is very dated so I gave up on it fairly soon.
