About this Event
dir. Howard Hawks // 1940 // 1 hr 32 min
Full of machine-gun fast dialogue and perfect comedic timing, “His Girl Friday” is a masterpiece of screwball comedy. Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell blaze through a gender-flipped newsroom battle of wits, romance, and journalistic ethics, speaking faster than most films canthink. Director Howard Hawks turns workplace comedy into a high-speed sport, creating one of the sharpest, funniest films Hollywood ever produced, and still a classic for comic dialogue.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOODLAND... is a series hosted and programmed by KCAI lecturer Kara Heitz looking at classic Hollywood films and history from the advent of sound to the birth of New Hollywood.
