His Girl Friday (1940) 3/5 (1)

His Girl Friday (1940) is a fast-paced screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. The film is a remake of the 1931 film The Front Page, but with the addition of a female lead. It follows Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), a sharp, quick-witted newspaper reporter, who is trying to leave her career to marry her fiancé. However, her ex-husband and editor, Walter Burns (Cary Grant), convinces her to cover one last big story—a murder trial with a surprising twist. The film is known for its rapid-fire dialogue, witty humor, and the dynamic chemistry between the lead characters. It remains a classic in the screwball comedy genre.
