Introduction by Prof. Noah Isenberg
Fast-talking dames don’t talk any faster than Rosalind Russell’s Hildy Johnson, an ace reporter who knows how to hold her own in the otherwise all-male newsroom. When Hildy announces her plans to leave behind her profession and remarry, her ex-husband, editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant), throws a few monkey wrenches into the spokes. With relentless banter and terrific chemistry between the stars, will this top-notch “comedy of remarriage” find its way to a honeymoon destination? D: Howard Hawks, US, 1940, 92m
