Description
Despite being extremely resourceful, your intrepid hosts did not manage to find a copy of East Lynne this week, as there’s apparently only one extent copy that sits in a vault at the UCLA film archives. As Suzan is in New York and didn’t want David to attempt a Mission Impossible style break-in without her, they’ve skipped ahead to the next movie, The Front Page. Ostensibly a fast paced story about muckraking journalists hiding an escaped anarchist condemned to execution, The Front Page has aged into an incomprehensible adaptation of a play that might have been a screwball comedy onstage but is a dark, misogynist, and mean spirited hundred minutes of film.
