A film resting on the speed and timing of its delivery, as well as the talent of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, His Girl Friday remains a whimsical classic whose sheer velocity earned Hawks boasting rights over Milestone's earlier version.

There are few breathing spells in His Girl Friday. The film starts out at a breakneck speed, and continues it all the way through.

It is with a great deal of envy that this real Girl Friday reports on the reel Girl Friday who cavorts on the [screen in] His Girl Friday. We can only say: It must have been wonderful to work in the "dark ages" of newspapering.

Miss Russell's lively interpretation is good and the repartee between her and Cary Grant fun.

| Oct 14, 2021

This farcical film is smartly acted, dialoged, and directed. It has nary a "Go" light for boredom.

| Oct 14, 2021

The picture is a blessed relief from most of the solemn and oppressively sad stories that have been occupying New York screens since before the holidays, and it moves Rosalind Russell to the very top of the roster of Hollywood's cleverest comediennes.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 14, 2021

It's Rosalind Russell's picture, of that there can be no doubt. She's In practically every scene and keeps the excitement moving like a house afire.

Fast, funny and vastly entertaining, His Girl Friday is, if anything, brighter and breezier than The Front Page of which it is a brilliant remake.

| Oct 14, 2021

[Russell] plays it with a fine comedienne's consummate touch, turning on the steam when the heat is on and sparking the mounting crescendo of excitement with a performance that stays at the boiling point every inch of the way.

His Girl Friday owes most of its appeal to the snappy performances of Cary Grant as the brassy, unscrupulous managing editor and Miss Russell as the girl reporter.

| Oct 14, 2021

Wisecracks and jibes march across the screen in double time in the film His Girl Friday as a woman reporter and an editor engage in a sort of romantic blitzkreig.

Boisterous entertainment, ably handled by the principals who are backed up by Ralph Bellamy, Gene Lockhart, John Qualen, Helen Mack, and others.

The smartest and most sophisticated piece of entertainment in a week that is notable for its high entertainment average.
