I think I could watch this ten times and still find jokes I'd missed before.

The SINGLE movie I have yet seen rated with a 10 made before 1960. One hell of a thrill ride. Simply beautiful... and amazing!

The movie's crazy, loud, and one hell of a fun ride. Who knew newspaper business and death penalty could be so fun?

Some of the best writing I've ever seen in a movie.

Howard Hawks' His Girl Friday is a high achievement in screwball comedy, with its breakneck action and even speedier dialog. This is a film where the characters don't realize they've been fast-talked into doing something until it's too late. Rosalind Russell plays a reporter and Cary Grant is her editor, but they're also exes, and he can't understand why she should now want to marry an insurance salesman and get out of journalism. An explosion of wit ensues between these evenly matched characters. Terrific stuff. If there's a weakness here, it's the plot pulled from the play (and 1931 film) The Front Page, about a man not quite falsely accused of killing a "colored policeman" now unjustly(?) facing execution. Let's just say the politics of the film feel completely wrong-headed today, but we are warned at the top that this takes place in a different time. Shouldn't stop you from enjoying the cracking script and performances.
