His Girl Friday Reviews
The zingers don’t stop...
| Nov 15, 2022
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.

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
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
Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant rush through the picture in the highest spirits and from appearance the entire cast must have had a gay time on the set.
| Oct 14, 2021
The sparkle comes from the fast dialog, the pace and excitement and the constant trickery in all quarters.
| Oct 14, 2021
Grant's role as the slick, conniving managing editor is ideal for him.
| Oct 14, 2021
Miss Russell gives a top-notch portrayal as Hildy. She has the natural enthusiasm and spirit for the job and undoubtedly will score hits with audiences.
| Oct 14, 2021
Cary Grant gives the managing editor a fine, hard glitter. And Miss Russell is as good as she was in The Women as the girl reporter.
| Oct 14, 2021
His Girl Friday is tough, cynical, and wholly objective, but it is a hard brilliance and its very refusal to comment adds to the force of the revelations it makes.

Cary Grant here reaches his zenith in the mental agility of crazy comedy.
| Apr 3, 2020
This unflappable, unflagging energy makes His Girl Friday one of the snappiest and most purely enjoyable rom-coms ever made.
| Apr 3, 2020
Roughest spots in the original versions have been sandpapered or excised, the pressroom's whiskey cynicism toned down to half of one per cent, but the comedy still has enough Hecht-MacArthur kick to make later interpolations smell synthetic.
| Jun 3, 2014
One is tempted to throw away any semblance of persuasion and simply demand that you go see this movie.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 17, 2011
The movie bears reviewing because there's always something new in the confetti of one-liners, while its depiction of the Fourth Estate remains relevant.
| Dec 15, 2009
A fast talking screwball delight that remains the finest example of its genre.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 1, 2009
Cary Grant's performance is truly virtuoso -- stunning technique applied to the most challenging material.
| Apr 2, 2008
It's exactly the type of craziness that good newspapers thrive on. Stop the presses.
