- The Front Page (1931): The same story as His Girl Friday, but without a woman in the lead, so even darker. I liked it, but many others did not.
- Crime Inc. (1945): A man fights the mob from the newspaper! It's a decent movie. Not great, but good enough.
- Roar of the Press (1941) a pseudo-sequel to The Front Page, except not as well made, and a little less dark.
- My Favorite Brunette (1947): Bob hope sends up Sam Spade hardboilers. Excellent.
