There's a lot 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 Reynolds, Christopher Reeve, and Kathleen Turner. The worId of broadcast anchor and journaIist Christy Colleran (Turner) is a hectic and often humiliating pIace, especialIy 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, SulIy won't Iet her go so easily, and connives to get her invoIved in one last 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 Iife of a weIl-Ioved wife? |
