Synopsis
His Girl Friday (1940) is a screwball comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in one of classic Hollywood's sharpest double acts.
Hildy Johnson is the best reporter her ex-husband Walter Burns has ever had. She shows up to say goodbye — she's getting married to a perfectly decent man and leaving the newsroom for good. Walter, being Walter, manufactures one last story: a death-row interview that's just complex enough to keep her around a bit longer. Ralph Bellamy plays the fiancé, which basically means he spends the whole film being cheerfully outmaneuvered.
Hawks told his actors to step on each other's lines, and the result still feels remarkably fast and alive — overlapping dialogue that most modern comedies haven't managed to match. Russell is the reason to watch: she runs the whole picture. Stream His Girl Friday (1940) on iFILM.
