Experts in the Trade. Its crack reporter Hildy Johnson (nicely played by Lew Parker) and its cold-blooded managing editor Walter Burns (badly muffed by Arnold Moss) still lived up to the public's conception of the Fourth Estate: they buried the hatchet to bring off a beat; Hildy kept his girl waiting at the altar, as a good reporter should; and Burns double-crossed Hildy to keep him, as a good editor must...
