Entertainment Reviews:
It takes you by the scruff of the neck in the first reel and it shakes you madly, bellowing hoarsely the. while, for the remaining six or seven. Before it's over you don't know whether you have been laughing or having your ears boxed.

Rating: 5/5 --
Newspaper screwball comedy His Girl Friday, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, remains one of the funniest comedy films of all time.

Solzy at the Movies
A line is never allowed to reverberate but is quickly attached to another, funnier line in a very underrated comedy that champions the sardonic and quick-witted over the plodding, sober citizens.

Casting is excellent, with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in the top roles.

Variety
Rating: 5/5 --
Hawks conducts the intrigue at such a frantic lick - achieving speed by means of overlapping dialogue and manoeuvring the actors within the frame rather than by quick cutting - that we are willingly swept along.

Howard Hawks returned to the material and added a twist that made it all his own: he transformed the love-hate buddy comedy of dirty tricks into a delicious battle of the sexes.

'His Girl Friday' is more feminist than it even gets credit for.

Description by OLDIES.com:
In this whip-smart screwball comedy from revered director Howard Hawks, Cary Grant plays a desperate newspaper editor trying to keep his ace-reporter (and ex-wife) from leaving the job to marry someone else. Adapted from Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthurs Broadway smash The Front Page, the film features such stars as Ralph Bellamy, Gene Lockhart, and Rosalind Russell in a role originally written for a male.
