About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Ruthless Chicago newspaper editor Walter Burns resorts to dubious motives in order to get top reporter Hildy Johnson to cover one more big crime story before retirement.
While many comedies of this era lean on slapstick, this sharp-tongued satire finds its rhythm in the frantic, cynical banter of a newsroom on the brink. The relentless verbal sparring between a manipulative editor and his reluctant reporter turns a simple news scoop into a chaotic battle of wits.
