Review of His Girl Friday (1940) by Stephen E — 10 Nov 2012

"His Girl Friday" is what most people refer to as the very best of the screwball comedies, and I think it's fair to say that if not the best, it certainly is one of the better ones. The characters and the situations that they find themselves in are always clever and their dialogue is always chock full of wit, and Rosalind Russell does quite well alongside Cary Grant, who is as funny as ever.

My favorite appearance came from Billy Gilbert, whose character made me laugh more than any other.
