Wonderful quickfire comedy. Rosalind Russell is sassy, beautiful, and a newshound to her fingertips. So refreshing to go back to a time when women in the movies had real, rounded personas and were able to be powerful women, have a career as well as dressing and looking fabulous. Lovely

His Girl Friday is an excellent comedy from director Howard Hawks. The fast-paced dialogue brilliantly encapsulates the nature of tabloid journalism. It’s just a shame Cary Grant isn’t on the screen for longer.
I bought this film because I'm an admirer of Cary Grant and of classic movies. It's a fast moving story, with some of the sharpest, quickest dialogue in movie history. It's a real battle of sexes and the script is fantastic. The real, strength of this film is not the plot, although it's pretty well done, it's the 'patter'. You'll have to watch it more than once to catch and appreciate all the witty retorts and undertones.
