The Front Page a review

First a little info on the play.

Hildy Johnson, newspaper reporter, is engaged to Peggy Grant and planning to move to New York for a higher paying advertising job. The court press room is full of lame reporters who invent stories as much as write them. All are waiting to cover the hanging of Earl Williams. When Williams escapes from the inept Sheriff, Hildy seizes the opportunity by using his $260 honeymoon money to payoff an insider and get the scoop on the escape. However, Walter Burns, the Post's editor, is slow to repay Hildy back, hoping that he will stay on the story. Getting a major scoop looks possible when Hildy stumbles onto the bewildered escapee and hides him in a roll-top desk in the press room. Burns shows up to help. Can they keep Williams' whereabouts secret long enough to get the scoop, especially with the Sheriff and other reporters hovering around

Well the play was written by Ben Hecht and Charles Mac Arthur. I love the play and the movies are halarious.

The characters are so well played. The Sheriff, Pete Hartman is so dumb and wants to win the election so badly that he will do anything in his way to get reelected also his lines are classic and Earl Williams is so nerdy that I would love to play his role. Walter Burns plays the type of Boss that reminds me of my dad that he wants to push you extra hard to get the facts in the story first rather than adding detail. Hildy, is like me, a go getter from the start but wants to quit his job as a reporter and want to branch out in the world and get married to his new sweetheart Peggy, but his true love is journalism. Like my true love is writing,and I couldn't escape writing if it killed me. There is pretensious and anal Roy V Bennsinger who is so anal about everything that his character is such a tight wide he would be great to play also. There is Earl Williams love intrest or someone who was the only one who believed him, Molly Malloy,a call girl.

Well those are just a few a characters. But I recommend for all of you to watch any of the following the classic films of Alfred Manjou and Pat O'Brien or the Walter Matthau or Jack Lemmon film or the recent adaptation of the film Switching Channels with Kathleen Turner and Burt Reynolds.

These films are all very good and I am possibly since my father raised me to write a story with information then detail. I am a writer and that is why I also love the Front Page and that is why I am possibly am addicted to the movies.


Well thats a review of The Front Page.

Other than that my muscles are killing me and I have a massive headache and can't move my arms really well. My legs are feeling like slush right now. I am about to take a shower and write the next story in about 30 minutes. I have been working on this entry for working and hopefully Spin takes the credit for it. Tonight, I may stay home and watch t.v. or relax my muscles and apply a mask. I have to do a beauty mask for an article I am doing. Kind of fun Sarah gave me an article for me to write about Beauty tips for Men. I am trying it out and I will let you know how it goes. I will write a sample article here before I send it out to the publisher.

I think I am going to ask dad to buy some pickles, I am craving them,but I know he doesn't like them. Plus I need some cucumbers for Meg and I. Maxine is sitting next to me and looks like she is depressed,but she is tired she woke up at 8 with me. I made a pot of coffee and I have to reheat the cup I made.
This day has been pretty good so far, I have been sore but I am not debilatating, and I am sore and hopefully I can move around today. I will attempt to walk around someplace. Hopefully I won't be stung by the sun.

Well I am waiting on dad to wake up. Well, I am pretty good spirits today and hope to work on my new diet program and trying to keep my face healthy for the wedding this Saturday. I still can't believe Chip is getting married. I am happy for him. Him and Kerry make a cute couple and well I am happy for them. So just a heads up readers, I won't be online for the next few days starting Friday. Unless I can bring my laptop with me. I will post the latest contest photo on Thursday.

Alright I am going to finish for now I'll write my next blog about politics in 3 hours. or so.
