Description
She learned about men from him!
Considered by many to be the best of director Howard Hawks' comedies (I Was A Male War Bride, Bringing Up Baby), His Girl Friday was adapted from Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's oft-filmed Broadway smash 'The Front Page', with a screenplay by Charles Lederer. Hawks changed the sex of one of the male leads, and revamped the spoof of newspapers and news hounds into a hilarious and sophisticated battle of the sexes and battle of the exes. When ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell) announces she's leaving the newspaper world to settle into domesticity with a stuffy fiance (Ralph Bellamy), her demanding editor and ex-husband Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is determined to keep her on staff and win back her heart in the process. The laughs come thick and fast in this, the grandaddy of all Hollywood screwball comedies.
