HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) - Jan. 4, 2005
They don't make 'em like this anymore. And it's a shame, too. Featuring the type of snappy dialogue lamentably only found in movies of this era, His Girl Friday is extremely entertaining from start to finish. This type of dialogue could seem contrived under lesser actors, but Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell are both excellent, and certainly make it work. The movie is exceptionally talky (it's based on a play, and it shows) but it's never boring for a second. ***1/2
