“One of the fastest of all movies, from line to line and gag to gag.”
—Artforum
“It’s a film that makes you want to sharpen your barbs and sling sass with the adults.”
—Time Out New York
Howard Hawks’ screwball comedy of remarriage, HIS GIRL FRIDAY, cannot be accused of being a slow, poky old movie. It really moves, by design. As Rosalind Russell, playing star reporter Hildy Johnson, is dragged back into a story on the eve of her honeymoon by her former editor (and former husband) Cary Grant, the quips fly so fast you won’t catch them all. But don’t worry, you’ll catch enough of them to appreciate why this is considered one of the greatest comedies ever made.
