Spéciale première (1974)
La salle de presse du tribunal est en émoi : Earl Williams, un tueur de policier, doit être exécuté ce matin. Mais alors que chacun est sur le qui-vive, tâchant qui d’obtenir une interview exclusive, Walter Burns, rédacteur en chef du Chicago Examiner, reçoit la démission de son journaliste vedette, Hildy Johnson, sur le point de convoler avec sa fiancée et d’accepter un poste de publicitaire à Philadelphie. L’idée est inacceptable pour Burns, qui va donc essayer de convaincre Hildy de couvrir l’événement, d’autant que lorsqu’on apprend l’évasion de Williams, il est évident qu’Hildy est l’homme de la situation.
