Some things I liked some I did not.

Load of rubbish!!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Pros Rosalind Russell turns in a great performance and portrays a strong newspaper reporter, better than the male reporters. She's also someone who has taken control of her life, seeing through the manipulations of her ex-husband and ex-boss, Cary Grant. Her lines like "you're wonderful, in a loathsome sort of way" are fantastic.There are some very cute moments between Grant and Russell as he needles her about her new fiancée (Ralph Bellamy), and of course immediately begins to try undermining them. The scenes early on grab you, with fast, sharp dialog, Russell throwing her purse at Grant in his office, and the two playing cat and mouse with their eyes and gestures at lunch with Bellamy. I loved these parts.Cons There is not enough of the relationship/banter/love triangle. The film is at its best early on, but when it begins focusing on the convicted killer, the plot line that gives Russell the lure to return to reporting, it bogs down and loses my interest.Fans of zany, frenetic, screwball movies will like this film, but at some point everyone just seems to be shouting at one another, and there just isn't enough balance in it for me.It's somewhat incidental, but I wasn't a fan of the premise that the white killer was convicted and unfairly sentenced because he had killed a black policeman, as if this and not the reverse was (and is) the problem in America, and the heaviness of the satire on the free press.

I wasn't really sure how I would feel about this type of comedy movie since I had never watched one before, but to my surprise I was actually found it very funny. I can definitely see why it's considered a classic. I really enjoyed the how fast paced the dialogue was between the characters, I think that added to the comedy of the scenes.

OMG!! I've just watched this movie and I have a headache!! Grant has always had verbose conversations in his movies but this one takes the cake. I had to stop it half way through in order to relax a bit. And it gets worse as you get further into the movie. My shoulders were up by my ears and my neck was tight. The dialogue was so packed all I can think is that they would have only been able to shoot 10 minutes of usable film a week with this one. They would have been exhausted otherwise.

His Girl Friday was a joy to watch! The acting from Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell was perfect for this film. It moves very fast and didn't have a dull moment. The film seemed modern in the way the plot advanced and the dialogue the two exchanged throughout. I enjoyed the outfit Rosalind Russell wore in the first scene, I think it showed her character right off the bat. If you're looking for a truly funny face paced screwball comedy this film is the one to watch.
