His Girl Friday
They’re at each other’s throats when they’re not in each other’s arms!
The Story
A newspaper editor will do anything to keep his ace reporter, who happens to be his ex-wife, from quitting and remarrying.
When Hildy Johnson breezes in to announce her engagement to a dull insurance man, Walter Burns dangles one last irresistible story: the looming execution of a condemned man he believes is being railroaded. As the scoop explodes around them and Walter sabotages her fiance at every turn, Hildy feels herself pulled back toward the only life that ever made her feel alive. Howard Hawks's machine-gun screwball comedy, one of the fastest and funniest films ever made.
