His Girl Friday DVD (1940) | Cary Grant & Rosalind Russell | Ralph Bellamy | Fastest Screwball Comedy Ever Made | Dir. Howard Hawks | U Cert | New & Sealed

Faster than any film before it. Funnier than almost anything since. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell star in His Girl Friday (1940) on DVD. Directed by Howard Hawks and based on Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s classic play The Front Page, the film follows newspaper editor Walter Burns (Grant) — unscrupulous, irresistible, utterly without conscience — who manoeuvres his ex-wife and star reporter Hildy Johnson (Russell) back into a murder story and back into his life, just as she’s about to marry someone else. Clocked at over 240 words per minute, it is the fastest screwball comedy ever made — and one of the greatest. Also starring Ralph Bellamy as the doomed fiancé Bruce Baldwin. Directed by Howard Hawks at the peak of the screwball form. 92 minutes. U cert.
