Adolphe Menjou: Gentleman of the Screen – The Front Page

In The Front Page (1931), Menjou dazzles as sharp-tongued editor Walter Burns in Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s landmark newsroom satire, a fast-talking comedy that laid the foundations for decades of screwball brilliance to come.

Introduced by Andrew Kelly, this is a rare opportunity to see this early classic on the big screen and to explore how Menjou helped shape the sophistication and pace of American comedy during the golden age of Hollywood.
