His Girl Friday (1940)Directed by Howard Hawks, unrated, 92 minutes
His Girl Friday is a riotously funny and lightning fast screwball comedy about a newspaper editor who'll do anything to keep his ex-wife and old star reporter from marrying a boring man. Cary Grant is immaculately funny and impossibly endearing, and Rosalind Russell matches Grant with fantastic line after fantastic line. The plot is close to the being the perfect screwball story, as each event get more and more over the top.
His Girl Friday is an influential comedy, with amazing dialogue and genuine laughs. You'll like it if: You like fast-paced dialogue, screwball comedies, Cary Grant, Arsenic and Old Lace or The Hudsucker Proxy.
