His Girl Friday

This 1940 remake of The Front Page features Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in a hilarious, hyperventilating romantic comedy which delivers dialog at break-neck speed. Cary Grant portrays newspaper editor Walter, whose ex-wife and star reporter is Hildy (Russell). One day Hildy shows up to tell him she's quitting and getting re-married, Walter convinces her to take on one last "easy" assignment - an interview with a death-row inmate found guilty of killing a policeman. Throw in a jailbreak, a suicide, a shooting, corrupt city officials and you've suddenly got one of the first and best screwball comedies ever!
