Newspaper editor Walter Burns tries to stall his ex-wife from leaving town and getting married. As he tries to convince her to work for his newspaper again, she finds herself caught in the middle of an intense criminal case. Her fiancé keeps getting arrested at the arrangement of Burns as he continues to try and prevent them from leaving town.
Overall I enjoyed this movie. I kept going back and forth between liking and disliking each character, but in the end I liked both Hildy and Walter. As I was watching the film, I was never sure how I wanted it to end, but I was happy with how everything turned out. I think out of all of the characters, Hildy was my favorite. I liked her personality as a character and that she was both serious and humorous. Going into this film, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but the story was pretty good and I liked that the romance was balanced with the action rather than one being more focused on than the other. I also liked how this movie showed the other side of journalism and exposed it. It showed how far some journalists are willing to go in order to get a story. It also showed how far some politicians are willing to go in order to win votes and stay in office, and I liked how it commented on this issue as it is still relevant. I would watch this movie again and I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for an interesting drama that isn't really long and keeps the story exciting.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
