HIS GIRL FRIDAY
Columbia
Howard Hawks' timeless screwball comedy about a newspaper editor who uses every trick in the book to keep his ace reporter ex-wife from remarrying. A classic comedy famous for its sharp and witty exchanges.
Columbia
When hard-charging New York newspaper editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant) discovers that his ex-wife, investigative reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), has gotten engaged to milquetoast insurance agent Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy), he unsuccessfully tries to lure her away from tame domestic life with a story about the impending execution of convicted murderer Earl Williams (John Qualen).
But when Hildy discovers Williams may be innocent, her reporter instincts take over. Without ‘His Girl Friday’, there may never have been the sexy, Tarantino-esque witty banter we see on our screens today.
