I did not expect this movie to be the way that it was, but I was blown away! A beautiful, hilarious mix of comedy, drama and heart. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell were masters of their craft, with a palpable chemistry between their characters due to their proficiency in acting. The side characters were wonderful as well, enhancing the story without taking focus away from the main players or the plot. The cinematography was excellent, they managed to do so much within the newspaper room, where a majority of the movie takes place but it manages to never make the audience feel like they're stuck there. I didn't expect the drama but I think it very much enhanced the film, adding stakes to what was already a seat-gripping story. This truly elevated the screwball comedy genre and both Cary and Rosalind's career to new heights, delivering a sucker-punch of a performance that leaves you breathless.

I wasn't really sure how I would feel about this type of comedy movie since I had never watched one before, but to my surprise I was actually found it very funny. I can definitely see why it's considered a classic. I really enjoyed the how fast paced the dialogue was between the characters, I think that added to the comedy of the scenes.

OMG!! I've just watched this movie and I have a headache!! Grant has always had verbose conversations in his movies but this one takes the cake. I had to stop it half way through in order to relax a bit. And it gets worse as you get further into the movie. My shoulders were up by my ears and my neck was tight. The dialogue was so packed all I can think is that they would have only been able to shoot 10 minutes of usable film a week with this one. They would have been exhausted otherwise.

I think "His Girl Friday" is an interesting film with humor but some times bores the audience. The film has good lighting and sound for its time but also isn't anything to write home about. Neither really adds or subtracts from the film. The humor in the movie is good at times and keeps the audience entertained. However there are long segments of the film that are just boring. This may be because humor has changed since the 1940s. The filming is also kind of poor, the camera often has these way too long shots. This film is amusing but I would not consider it a classic.
