One of the fastest, funniest, and most quotable films
ever, His Girl Friday stars Rosalind Russell as reporter Hildy
Johnson – who is matched only by her conniving but charismatic editor and
ex-husband, Walter (Cary Grant), who attempts to use every tick in the
book to keep her from remarrying. When adapting Ben Hecht and Charles
MacArthur’s play The Front Page, Howard Hawks had the idea of
turning reporter Hildy into a woman, and the result is an immortal mix of
hard-boiled newsroom setting with ebullient remarriage comedy. (USA, 1940, 92 mins, English | Dir. Howard
Hawks)
