To continue the 'connections' theme, 'His Girl Friday' (which itself was a remake of the Broadway stage play and movie 'The Front Page') was remade a couple of decades ago as (I think) 'Headline News' starring Burt Reynolds and Kathleen Turner. The connection is that Turner played Dennis Quaid's wife in 'Undercover Blues' and was an expert in various forms of martial arts and other methods of unarmed mayhem. The interplay between those two sometimes recalls the fast banter between Lois and Clark (when the writers were 'on their game').

And, yes, the story was hilarious! I loved envisioning Clark as the police were interviewing Lois! He couldn't have pulled his hair out, of course, but he might have been tempted to pull hers out!
