| His Girl Friday - Perhaps the funniest comedy ever made. This inspired adaptation adds an extra dimension of exploitation by turning Hildy Johnson into Walter Burns ex-wife. A classic unrelenting hilarious war-between-the -sexes comedy in which a reporter and her ex-husband editor helps a condemned man escape the law - while at the same time furthering their own ends as they try to get the big scoop on political corruption in the town. One of Howards Hawks' most furious and inventive screen combats in which women... |

| His Girl Friday (Columbia) - This hilarious re-working of The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur sees Grant as the savage editor and, in a switch, the reporter played by scheming Rosalind Russell. This version adds the twin lures of sex and romance. The film moves at whirlwind speed, as Director Howard Hawks instructed his actors to overlap their lines, so much so that at times everyone seems to be talking at once. Hawks also had his cast move at twice the normal speed so the screen looks frantic from scene to... |

| His Girl Friday by Howard Hawks - His Girl Friday by Howard Hawks is a film that has gained a reputation for the rapid and frenetic style in which it unfolds.

However through his use of the techniques such as the classical narrative system, continuity editing and many other simple yet clever cinematic techniques Hawks was able to create a film that despite its pace was very easy to follow. The structure of this film is typical of the Hollywood classical... |
