Q & A with Norman Jewison and casting director Lynn Stalmaster on May 25!

Jewison delightfully evokes turn-of-the-century Chicago in this warm-hearted, nostalgic farce loosely based on Ben Hecht’s early days as a newspaperman. When a starry-eyed small town boy (Beau Bridges) comes to the big city, hoping to make his name as a writer, he ends up with a room in a whorehouse and a job with the Chicago Journal. A would-be reformer, Bridges is quickly, and hilariously, caught up in the schemes of a colorful parade of deal-peddling politicians, cynical reporters, and women of loose morals (and hearts of gold).
