Review of His Girl Friday (1940) by Barry N — 07 Mar 2011

I will give you 5 dollars if you can name me one film that has sharper or smarter dialogue than this film. I didn't think you could.

This film has got everything. Strong performances from the characters, really funny scenes, amazing romantic chemistry between the two leads, a great background crime adventure, amazingly fast pacing, and hilarious screwball comedy. This is an amazingly fresh, funny and just plain fun film. I didn't even know this film existed until just recently, and I'm sure glad this film got on my radar. A classic comedy film that satisfies absolutely. I honestly cannot think of a single flaw to this film. This film is nearly perfect, in my opinion. A classic screwball comedy masterpiece.
