It bombed then. It looks better now, but it's still a distant third in films of the play

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.

Too much of it seemed stretched thin and unfunny.
