Light B-Film Comedy Without Pretensions

'The Headline Woman' could have been so much of a movie.

It actually consists of two different stories -practically-, one after the other.

The fast-paced first half is exceptional indeed, little short of the original 'The Front Page'. It consists of a bunch of witty and cynical journalists in the pressroom of the police headquarters of a big town, as they try to sway an officer for bringing them information daily.

There is a gang war between racketeers of gambling, so there is armed action, killings, and even high society parties.

In the second half, though, 'The Headline Woman' swaps half of its characters, leaving us with the ordeals of the stunningly beautiful titular lady, Myrna Van Buren (Heather Angel), being protected by one of the journalists, Bob Grayson (Roger Pryor).

'The Headline Woman' disappoints, because the studio ('Republic Pictures') unfortunately didn't invest in totally rounding it up.

It's evident, that they were enthusiastic though, and it resulted in a B+ (or A-) movie.
