    Back at his home studio, MGM, after his Oscar-winning success in It Happened One Night, Clark Gable was cast as another newspaper man who, with the aid of his glamorous society-girl-cum-reporter (Constance Bennett), solves a murder. A solidly entertaining example of the then fashionable newsroom genre, when papers were papers and reporters played detective, it was written by Herman J Manckiewicz (later to script Citizen Kane with Orson Welles) and directed by one of the studio's slickest craftsmen, Robert Z Leonard. The result is a sparky, witty and fast-moving comedy melodrama.

    An unsettling kind of black comedy with moments of malaise: nobody denies its touches of brilliance, but few people want to see it again.

    Wonderful

    After Hours is terrific! I watched the movie two hours ago and I'm still resisting the urge to laugh out loud. It's simply impossible to do it justice in a review, except to say that this movie truly sings like no other movie I've ever seen. The way the plot unfolds is sheer genius. The cast is perfect, the characters are perfect, everything is perfect! It's profoundly funny. And Griffin Dunne's depiction of a buttoned-down guy on the brink of insanity is stupendously enthralling. What are you waiting for?!

    Not really worthwhile

    I'm an absolute fanatic about Scorsese films, but his attempt at comedy using some middle of the road actors doesn't really work out. The story isn't that believable nor as extreme as perhaps it might have been. It also suffers quite badly from being made in the mid-80's when style and fashion were probably at their worst.
