Quick Reaction: His Girl Friday

I'd be a fool not to enjoy Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell talk circles around people for 90 minutes. This is a simple movie that's hard to recap. Grant is Russell's ex-husband and decides he wants her back. The movie takes place over a single day. It excels at building on recurring or escalating jokes throughout. It's very much in the tradition of screwball comedies. I haven't seen all the adaptations of The Front Page that are out there, but this is a good one. It's also very easy to see how this started as a play.

Verdict: Weakly Recommend
