United Artists, 1931

This poster for Lewis Milestone's comedy crime drama is unrestored and displays two tears, creases on and near the upper corners and a pinhole and tape remnant or stain on each lower corner.

Nominated for three Academy Awards, "The Front Page" depicts the Chicago press coverage of the impending execution of anarchist Earl Williams amidst a pivotal election. Adapted from the Broadway hit by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, the film features Adolphe Menjou and Pat O'Brien in leading roles. It was later remade by Howard Hawks in 1940 as "His Girl Friday."
