Review of His Girl Friday (1940) by Blake P — 17 Aug 2011
This is one of the best screwball comedies ever made. Howard Hawks seemed to do everything to make this movie memorable-- the really fast talking, the crazy plot, and, some of the best actors known to the screen, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.
Cary and Roz both do fantastic work here, and nowadays are considered one of their finest performances. His Girl Friday is actually based on a play called the Front Page, and was made into a movie in the 30s.
Obviously, that one didnt make it so good, and Howard decided to make this masterpiece. This movie is so witty and charming, and even if you dont think a certain joke is funny, you still laugh because of the actors performances.
His Girl Friday is a terrific film, and you will love it.
