"Perhaps the funniest, certainly the fastest talkie comedy ever made ... the frantic script needs to be heard at least a dozen times for all the gags to be caught. Quite simply a masterpiece." - THE TIME OUT FILM GUIDE

"She learned about men from him!"
This 1940 corker, often referred to as the ultimate screwball comedy, pairs two of Hollywood's greatest wiseacres, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, in a hilariously frantic story of two ace reporters (and former spouses) who battle it out over the story of a lifetime, all the while fighting their own feelings for one another.
Expertly directed by the great Howard Hawks (Rio Bravo, The Big Sleep) and scripted by Charles Lederer (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), this madcap, giddy film - originally titled The Bigger They Are, is beloved for its overlapping dialogue and simultaneous conversations, rapid-fire delivery, breakneck speed, word gags, sexual innuendo, plot twists, "in" jokes, mugging, jousting, sarcastic insults, frantic pace and farcical script.
With its juicy plot about a ruthless editor, a marriage renewed by divorce and the threat of re-marriage, a politically corrupt city, and a questionable judicial system, HIS GIRL FRIDAY is both a love story and a sophisticated battle of the sexes with a razor sharp satirical edge.
Simultaneously smart, funny, cynical and touching, this rip-roaring piece of classic Hollywood entertainment (consistently ranked as one of the greatest film comedies of all time) is a guaranteed good time at the movies!
