The film you're looking for is the 1974 Billy Wilder production of "The Front Page," a beloved, decades-old stage play.

It starred, as you say, Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon, the third of 10 collaborations the two friends made over their long careers.

Lemmon played a reporter at a Chicago tabloid who was weary of the business and planning to quit. His scheming editor, played by Matthau, convinces him to stay on to cover the sensational story of the execution of a convicted murderer.

The acting president of Venezuela has put a curse on voters who don't vote for him in next week's election. Today Mitt Romney said, “You can do that!?”

Holidays and food go together like peanut butter and jelly. What holiday isn't filled with its own culinary traditions?

The Fourth of July is no exception to this rule. The fireworks may be flashier than the food, but I know that I'll have my barbecue fired up this Independence Day for some memorable grilling.
