故事从芝加哥刑事法院大楼的新闻发布室开始。一群无所事事的记者正在用尖酸刻薄的俏皮话消磨着时间，实际上他们即将亲眼目睹罪犯托尼·西蒙斯被绞刑。
而王牌记者卡尔·约翰逊却姗姗来迟，似乎对这件事并不在意。他告诉老板唐纳德·米勒，说自己遇见了真爱艾琳·史密斯小姐，并准备辞去记者的工作跟她结婚。唐纳德·米勒却大为不爽多番阻拦不肯放他走。
突然传来惊响，罪犯托尼·西蒙斯越狱了！多年养成的职业习惯又让卡尔·约翰逊阴差阳错、不由自主地再次投入到记者调查的身份之中。
随着他调查的愈加深入，警察局长史蒂芬、站街女黛丝·威廉姆斯、清洁工奥菲莉亚、记者新人佩里·戴维斯、记者老炮儿桑德·布雷顿、记者老油条沃尔特和萨雷斯统统被卷入这场事件之中。
然而，一个更为巨大的阴谋被徐徐揭开……

乔尼被男友抛弃后伤心欲绝想自杀一了百了，好心的戴克对她苦心劝解，终赢得美人心，两人旋即步入婚姻殿堂，然而事情并没有像白雪公主和王子那样结尾。

As Europe looms on the edge of war in 1913, the family and members of the court of the Russian czar Nicholas come under the sway of a mysterious mystic named Rasputin. When Rasputin miraculously appears to cure the czar's son Alyosha of his hemophilia, the monk's reputation is cemented, particularly in the mind of the princess Natasha. Natasha's fiancé (and, later, husband) Prince Paul Chegodieff, however, suspects Rasputin is a charlatan who will cause the downfall of the royal family and perhaps of Russia itself.

Hildy Johnson is an investigative reporter looking for a bigger paycheck. When an accused murderer escapes from custody, Hildy sees an opportunity for the story of a lifetime. But when he finds the criminal, he learns that the man may not be guilty. With the help of his editor, Hildy attempts to hide the convict, uncover the conspiracy and write the scoop of his career.

This umpteenth version of the Front Page story made the quite appropriate adaptation from newspaper journalism to television.
Although the character names have been changed we have no problems identifying the main characters of the Front Page. As in His Girl Friday, Hildy is played by a woman and Kathleen Turner was the ideal choice for this role at the time. Burt Reynolds takes on the Walter Burns character, but he neither has the charm of Cary Grant [His Girl Friday] nor the comic timing of Walter Matthau [Front Page, The (1974)] - but then, who has? The only serious miscasting is Christopher Reeve who just can't match the whimpish Ralph Bellamy.
All in all it's not as good as the previous (excellent) versions, but it is still quite enjoyable. A story with that many remakes normally has a stinker amongst the lot, but this one has not (so far).

British army sergeants Ballantine, Cutter and MacChesney serve in India during the 1880s, along with their native water-bearer, Gunga Din. While completing a dangerous telegraph-repair mission, they unearth evidence of the suppressed Thuggee cult. When Gunga Din tells the sergeants about a secret temple made of gold, the fortune-hunting Cutter is captured by the Thuggees, and it's up to his friends to rescue him.

Made during the early years of the movie musical, this exuberant revue was one of the most extravagant, eclectic, and technically ambitious Hollywood productions of its day. Starring the bandleader Paul Whiteman, then widely celebrated as the King of Jazz, the film drew from Broadway variety shows to present a spectacular array of sketches, performances by such acts as the Rhythm Boys (featuring a young Bing Crosby), and orchestral numbers—all lavishly staged by veteran theater director John Murray Anderson.
