- This film is the second film adaptation of the Broadway stage play "The Front Page" . The two protagonists of the original play are both men. When director Howard Hawks heard a woman read the lines of the lead reporter Hildi in the play, he felt that this dialogue between a man and a woman was more interesting than two men, so he decided to turn Hildy into a woman .
- In the film, Walter said to his subordinate Louis that he "looks like Ralph Rexford Bellamy" when describing Bruce's appearance. This is an improvisation line. In addition, Cary Grant's real name also appears in the film .
- Irene Dunn was originally arranged to play the role of Hildi Johnson, but she felt that Hildi’s play was too thin and insisted that the screenwriter rewrite her role .

The speed of speaking is really fast. I turned over the background. It is said to be 240 words per minute on average... Dialogue scenes, old-fashioned stories, all rely on dialogue. Noisy, really noisy.
