When a classified ad grabs the attention of Chicago Times editor Brian Kelly (Lee J. Cobb) he sends ace reporter P.J. McNeal (James Stewart) to dig up new evidence in the 11-year-old case of a cop killer: It appears that Frank Wiecek (Richard Conte) has taken a fall and been wrongly imprisoned for the murder. Although hard-nosed McNeal is initially skeptical he eventually believes that Wiecek was in fact a patsy. And although McNeal hits one dead end after another the avid newsman never gives up the search for justice for the innocent Wiecek... An absorbingly intelligent film noir adapted from true events as reported in the 1930s articles of James P. McGuire.
This delightfully fun and lighthearted comedy is based on Jane Austen's classic novel. Dazzling Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare In Love) shines as Emma a mischievous young beauty who sets up her single friends. Funny thing is...she's not very good at it! So when Emma tries to find a man for Harriet (Toni Collette Knives Out) she makes a hilariously tangled mess of everyone's lives. You'll enjoy all the comic confusion... until Emma herself falls in love, finally freeing everyone from her outrageously misguided attempts at matchmaking!
