When the convict manages to escape, chaos breaks loose, and Hildy finds herself working alongside Walter to break the story wide open.

HIS GIRL FRIDAY is a loose, freewheeling gem featuring some of the fastest dialogue ever filmed (peppered with inspired ad-libbing by Grant and Russell, each appearing at comedic high points in their careers). Hawks, who changed the original story of two newspapermen into a battle of the sexes, keeps the frenetic action careening forward and allows a few slim but luminous notes of genuine affection to ...

His Girl Anyday.

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: A crazy yet charming and enjoyable stage comedy from the '40's. Watch Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Howard Hawks make magic
Review: Based upon the Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur play "The Front Page", "His Girl Friday" is one of the most terrific and enjoyable of screwball comedies, as well as a satire of the newspaper business (Which explains it lack of Oscars).

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2000
Review: It is extremely difficult to determine what Grant comedy is the best. In fact, I say that it is imposible to do so. Therefore, why try. Each Grant comedy has its own flair and stamp on the genre. "His Girl Friday" is one of those gems, which perhaps...
