About this product

Product Information

In Howard Hawks's screwball masterpiece adapted from the stage play THE FRONT PAGE by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, star reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), once married to suave editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant), plans to leave the stressful newspaper world behind and marry a boring insurance agent. Walter won't reveal his feelings for Hildy but tries to keep her from leaving by convincing her to cover one last story, a politically motivated execution. When the convict manages to escape, chaos breaks loose, and Hildy finds herself working alongside Walter to break the story wide open. HIS GIRL FRIDAY is a loose, freewheeling gem featuring some of the fastest dialogue ever filmed (peppered with inspired ad-libbing by Grant and Russell, each appearing at comedic high points in their careers). Hawks, who changed the original story of two newspapermen into a battle of the sexes, keeps the frenetic action careening forward and allows a few slim but luminous notes of genuine affection to slip into Hildy and Walter's storm of hilarious verbal barbs, creating a potent and heartfelt classic that stands as one of the most influential comedies ever made.

Classic Screwball Comedy
Fast talking, witty opponents Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are well matched in this clever screwball comedy. Grant plays a newspaper editor relentlessly after the scoop and his ex-wife and favorite reporter (Russell). Russell threatens to quit the paper for good to marry her stuffed shirt of a fiance, played by Ralph Bellamy. Verbal and comedic fireworks ensue, including Russell hiding an escaped convict in her roll top desk. Grant is handsome, Russell is gorgeous and the acting, chemistry and comedic timing between the two superb. Well directed by Howard Hawks, who also helmed the two in "Bringing Up Baby." This film is based on a play called "The Front Page" and was later remade as a film of that same name starring Jake Lemon.Fast talking, witty opponents Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are well matched in this clever screwball comedy.

Grant & Russell Are Brilliant in Great Screwball Comedy
His Girl Friday (1940) is one of the funniest and best made screwball comedies. Starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell as unscrupulous newspapermen caught up in a murder case, this hilarious film also features Ralph Bellamy in an excellently acted supporting, straightman role. Grant and Russell used to be married, but now she's going to wed Bellamy and live the domestic life. Grant pulls out all the stops to keep her working for the paper and interested in him, and along the way they've got their hands on the escaped murderer set to be executed the next day who's at the center of a political storm. Grant and Russell are beyond superb, and Howard Hawks' direction is masterful. The lively pace of the movie and the overlapping dialogue are quite remarkable. This is one of the absolute ...

This is one of the absolute best screwball comedies, on par with or even exceeding Hawks' and Grant's Bringing Up Baby (1938). His Girl Friday is a great film which everyone can enjoy. It's worth owning the DVD so you can see the movie again and again.

Great classic comedy filled with stars, it will make you laugh
I bought the DVD to replace a copy I already had that must've gotten scratched. I love the movie, it is a great classic. I love the way all of the characters play off one another. Cary Grant is a fast talker who is so devious but funny in the way he plays everyone (especially Rosiland Russell and Ralph Bellamy). He manipulates everyone to assure he gets the best story for page 1 of his newspaper. The scenes with the Mayor, sherriff (who is related to the mayor and is a true bufoon)and messenger are histerical; talk about shady politicians. My son is 27 years old and he is really getting into the classic movies. He absolutely loved it. We got a lot of laughs. If you love the classic comedies buy this, you will not be disappointed.I bought the DVD to replace a copy I already had that must've gotten scratched. I love the movie, it is a great classic.

The Magic of Fun: His Girl Friday, from Howard Hank
His Girl Friday is great movie from a past in Hollywood long ago. Howard Hank at his best. Staring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Fun in so many way as you watch and enjoy great story tell on film. So much magic between Rosalind and Cary. Just nice watch, 5 star winner in my book.

Great movie
Not one of my favorite Cary Grant movies, but ranks up in the top third. Enjoyable movie and this version tends to be a higher quality print than other versions I've seen/purchased. If you like this movie and are hesitant because of poor versions you've received before, this is the one to get in DVD format. Picture and audio quality is great.
