Rating:  out of 5 stars - THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE FAST PACED GRANT FILM!
I bought a box set containing this film and four other Grant classics, This being the second one I've watched is the best so far. This film is full of quick fire dialogue that is funny and intelligent. Grant and Russell are exceptional, but the entire cast is burning on all cylinders in this 70 years fresh "screwball" comedy. If you are looking for a place to start with Cary Grant.....this is a pretty safe bet! the DVD transfer is very good on the box set and it has some interesting extra material. ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - His Girl Friday
Carey Grant and Rosselyn Ruselle are perfection in this movie!! They embody the strife of the women's movement clashing with the men!



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Fastest smartest dialogue there is. The screwballiest of the screwballs
Get a load of the title--pure irony. I mean, yeah, OK, Cary Grant DOES manage to get Rosalind Russell to revert back to her old newspaper ways, in spite of her initial adamant refusal to do so...but she really does it cause it's in her blood, not because good old Cary is a dominating type.

You can't get dialogue more whip smart, faster, and ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - His Girl Friday
ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! Cary Grant was a comedic genius with near impeccable timing. Rosalind Russell was perfect counterpoint. The repartee between the two is fast, furious & witty. The director Howard Hawks put together one of the best comedies ever committed to film! Grant & Russell were married but now divorced before the movie starts. He's the editor of a newspaper & she's the ace reporter. They can't stand each other but they're the perfect team.

This is considered to be of the ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - "I often wish you weren't such a stinker!"
Cary Grant is such a great comedic actor! He doesn't even need to say anything - those facial expressions! Hilarious!
Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is the editor of the Morning newspaper and boss of his ex-wife, Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell). Hildy is an ace reporter who decides to get married and get away from the newspaper business to lead "a normal human life." After much convincing, Walter finally gets Hildy to write one last story for the paper before she leaves. And all the while he is trying ... Read More
