Review of His Girl Friday (1940) by Gavin S — 26 Oct 2013

That was possibly some of the fastest talking ever in a movie, I don't think a single line was spoken fully without someone else speaking over it...Cary Grant is on fine form here, at his roguish best, trying to win back his ex-wife and star reporter. I wish more movies today had female leads this strong. Rosalind Russell is a terrific match for Grant, and poor Ralph Bellamy just has to sit around and take it.

Throw in some nice jokes (about Archie Leach and Ralph Bellamy in the actual dialogue - 4th wall breaking in 1940!) and you've got a fun film pitting 2 great characters against one another.
