| | Verbal Comedy Doesn't Get Better Than This | 1fatts 07/23/2007 | Menjou and O'Brian did it in '31. Mathau and Lemmon in '74. Robert Ryan and George Grizzard did it on TV in 1970. And somebody even did it once somewhere as a musical. But this is the one. This one: 1940 with Cary Grant and Roz Russell.
A fast-paced play by McArthur and Hecht called "The Front Page" got kicked up several notches when someone decided to turn Hildy Johnson, the bitter, frustrated reporter looking for an escape from the newspaper game into a normal life, into a woman, ex-wife of fast-talking, vicious-but-lovable editor Walter Burns. Cary Grant as burns was never faster or funnier, but his pairing with Roz Russell as Hildy is nothing short of magic. The dialogue zings along, and every second line is a zinger.
But there is more to this than the very real verbal jousting. There is a glimpse into the world of newspapers which is illuminating and more than a little frightening. Anything for the story; it is never about fact, but about the lead, the scoop. Russell's scene with John Qualen's Earl Williams is sharp and tough and cold. The scenes with the veterans in the jailhouse newsroom captures an earlier time and speech pattern, but, one suspects, it has more to say about what media news is really about than All the President's Men could every have hoped to show.
There is an edge to the script that raises it about great comedy into something more important than that.
One of the best things Howard Hawks ever did. Not to be missed. |
