Entertainment Reviews:
By far the highest honors in this go to Mr. Menjou, who gives as polished a performance of a gruff and unscrupulous editor as he used to give of a man about town.

The Nation
Rating: 2.5/5 --
Has its share of funny lines and characters, but it's not nearly as funny as the most famous remake, 1940's His Girl Friday.

Rating: 4/5 --
Brilliantly cinematic version of the play pales next to the energy of His Girl Friday.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: B+ --
Milestone's seminal newspaper drama launched a whole cycle of films and set the patterns for sagas about behind-the-scenes operations of tabloids.

Is this the stuff of comedy? It is in the hands of Hecht and MacArthur, former newspapermen with plenty to say about the cutthroat tactics of journalists.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This hilarious Broadway favorite was remade into multiple film versions but the original remains a high-water mark. The star crime reporter at a sleazy Chicago tabloid prepares to file his final story for the paper before moving on to more dignified work, but his desperate editor will stop at nothing to keep him on board, not even blackmail or the kidnapping of his future mother-in-law! The film was nominated for several Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director. A 1974 remake starred Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
