His Girl Friday

Howard Hawks' rapid-fire screwball comedy masterpiece featuring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell at their sparkling best. When star reporter Hildy Johnson announces she's leaving the newspaper business to get married, her editor and ex-husband Walter Burns will stop at nothing to keep her on the job and win her back. The overlapping dialogue, delivered at breakneck speed, revolutionized screen comedy. Based on the play 'The Front Page,' this battle-of-the-sexes classic remains one of the wittiest and fastest films ever made.
