His Girl Friday

Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell d/Howard Hawks

A re-make of The Front Page where all the reporters talk lickety split and the story goes by so fast you hardly have time to think. Great fun...probably the best of the screwball comedies.

So fast that you hardly even realize that one of the characters commits suicide right in front of us. Amazing timing in the exchanges between the two leads. I wonder how many rehearsals it took?
