Great lines and comedy in this one!

Lively comedy....Roger is a comic revelation, to me anyway ! It's obviously a cross between The Front Page and It Happened One Night (34) deploying all the Hard-boiled Newspaper man and Footloose Heiress tropes.

No.

Ford Sterling was one of the original Keystone Cops. Jimmy Cagney credited Roger Pryor as a strong influence on him. The guy was good--he seldom overacted, injected little bits of business into the script to keep things interesting (in this film snapping his fingers to remember and a running gag about his hat), and he could carry a film with his personality. Cagney did the same things except he too often over acted, especially in his later years. Pryor was never given the credit he deserved, an old Hollywood refrain.

Variations on a theme: a dumb (non) Irish cop "Hugo Meyer." Not the traditional movie cop name, that's for sure. And "cheers" for Ward Bond (playing newspaperman Johnson "on the sofa"), one of the most notorious racists and Jew-haters in the history of American film. And (natch) good buddy of John Wayne. At 8:55 Gabby Hayes as...a police desk sergeant?(!) And Franklin Panghorn as a newsie as well. Trusting that Ward Bond didn't like "him" either.
