His Girl Friday (1001 Films #141)

In which we learn how fast is too fast.

"Except to add that we've seen THE FRONT PAGE under its own name and others so often before we've grown a little tired of it, we don't mind conceding HIS GIRL FRIDAY is a bold-faced reprint of what was once- and still remains- the maddest newspaper comedy of our times."

Frank Nugent of the New York Times gives one of the most backhanded compliments imaginable to a certified classic in HIS GIRL FRIDAY. Basically, it’s just like this other really good movie, but that’s fine, I guess!

Will our hosts be more impressed than grumpy Mr. Nugent? You’ll have to listen to find out because neither Mike nor Dave has seen this movie or talked about it until right this moment! 

Join us as we talk Cary Grant vs. George Clooney, yet more suicide attempts, fast talkers, and Weezy trapped in a cabinet…
