This film is noted for its sharp, rapid-fire dialogue, and it was #19 on ''Creator/AmericanFilmInstitute's AFI's 100 Years 100 Laughs'' and has been selected for preservation in the United States UsefulNotes/NationalFilmRegistry. Today the film is in the public domain (even though the 1928 play it is based on is still under copyright), which hasn't prevented Columbia Pictures from issuing official video releases of the film. Creator/TheCriterionCollection has also issued it on both DVD and Blu-ray.

* ImmoralJournalist: All of them. Hildy and Walter are examples of the "jerk" variant in their own way (especially Walter) while all of the other reporters are examples of the "liar" variants (we are not given proof if Walter's paper followed the narrative of Mollie Malloy being an alleged moll of Williams but their papers sure did, and they are quick to "punch up" what is happening as Williams is arrested).

When newspaper editor Walter Burns (Grant) learns that his ex-wife and former [[IntrepidReporter ace reporter]] Hildy Johnson (Russell) is about to marry bland insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin (Bellamy) and settle down to a quiet life as a wife and mother, Burns decides he must sabotage these plans. He entices the reluctant Johnson into covering one last story: the upcoming execution of convicted murderer Earl Williams (John Qualen). After that, Burns does everything he can to keep her from leaving, including having Baldwin arrested over and over on trumped-up changes, and having Hildy's mother-in-law kidnapped, amongst other shenanigans.
