HIS GIRL FRIDAY(1940)

Surprisingly, the copy from the Cary Grant Box Set has
closed captioning!!

An incredibly fast paced comedy with Cary Grant playing
a newspaper editor whose wife(Rosiland Russell) has
divorced because his paper is more important to him than
she is! She's planning to get married again and Grant
does everything he can to ruin her plans!! B+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

This gloriously funny romp by Howard Hawks is rightly
remembered as one of the fastest-talking movies ever
made. Originally done as 'The Front Page', the play
by Hecht and McArthur takes on new life here as the
character of Hildy Johnson metamorphoses in this version
to be a sparky woman (played by Rosalind Russell),
former wife of the harassed columnist Walter Burns
(played with characteristic bewilderment and charm
by Cary Grant). Hildy is about to marry again, to
the nice but dull Bruce Baldwin (played by Ralph
Bellamy as a character so boring he 'is like Ralph
Bellamy' - how Hollywood liked its in-jokes).

With that fire-cracking script, a sizable amount
of sparks between Grant and Russell, and good
support from Bellamy and a cast which includes
Gene Lockhart, Cliff Edwards, Clarence Kolb,
and Regis Toomey, 'His Girl Friday' is one of
those classic gems which never age and which
remain hugely entertaining. - didi-5
