Summary: THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE FAST PACED GRANT FILM!
Comment: I bought a box set containing this film and four other Grant classics, This being the second one I've watched is the best so far. This film is full of quick fire dialogue that is funny and intelligent. Grant and Russell are exceptional, but the entire cast is burning on all cylinders in this 70 years fresh "screwball" comedy. If you are looking for a place to start with Cary Grant.....this is a pretty safe bet! the DVD transfer is very good on the box set and it has some interesting extra material.

Summary: Fastest smartest dialogue there is. The screwballiest of the screwballs
Comment: Get a load of the title--pure irony. I mean, yeah, OK, Cary Grant DOES manage to get Rosalind Russell to revert back to her old newspaper ways, in spite of her initial adamant refusal to do so...but she really does it cause it's in her blood, not because good old Cary is a dominating type. She's NOT his girl Friday; she's her own person. Dig the Abe Lincoln stovepipe hat--nice touch. Newspaper people are honest. Yep, of course they are.
You can't get dialogue more whip smart, faster, and witter than this. It's just not possible, thanks to Billy Wilder, co-writer. While stuff like My Favorite Brunette and Nothing Sacred may have their occasional guffaws, His Girl Friday is so fast and furious you don't have time to guffaw--just marvel and laugh constantly at the amazing display of language fireworks, and the two leads who pull these fireworks off absolutely flawlessly. NOBODY else could have been cast in these two lead roles, NOBODY. Grant and Russell are PERFECT.
One of the best American movies of the 40s and my vote for one of the best American comedies period.

Summary: His Girl Friday
Comment: ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! Cary Grant was a comedic genius with near impeccable timing. Rosalind Russell was perfect counterpoint. The repartee between the two is fast, furious & witty. The director Howard Hawks put together one of the best comedies ever committed to film! Grant & Russell were married but now divorced before the movie starts. He's the editor of a newspaper & she's the ace reporter. They can't stand each other but they're the perfect team.
This is considered to be of the screwball comedy version but there's so much intelligent stuff going on it's hard to consider it screwball. Hawks decided to give the film a fast pacing; many times Grant & Russell (among others) are all talking at the same time. His Girl Friday was one of the first films to take this approach. There's never a dull or slow moment in the movie. If ever there was a film that could be the perfect comedy this one is it. There are some inside jokes, the best one involving Ralph Bellamy. This movie's pacing is so fast it demands to be seen more than one time. One of Hollywood's most entertaining movies of all time!

Summary: "I often wish you weren't such a stinker!"
Comment: Cary Grant is such a great comedic actor! He doesn't even need to say anything - those facial expressions! Hilarious!
Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is the editor of the Morning newspaper and boss of his ex-wife, Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell). Hildy is an ace reporter who decides to get married and get away from the newspaper business to lead "a normal human life." After much convincing, Walter finally gets Hildy to write one last story for the paper before she leaves. And all the while he is trying to keep her there and win back her heart! He definitely succeeds!
