A newspaper editor played by Cary Grant meets his ex-wife/ex-star reporter's fiancee the day before they are set to be married. She says she will be happy to live a life where she will be treated like a real woman, not a newsman. Grant spends the rest of the movie, which all takes place in one day, trying to lure Hildy back into the life they shared. "The greatest screwball comedy of them all... a miracle of comic timing and fizzing chemistry. As close to perfection as you could possibly hope for, His Girl Friday is a delirious joy." Channel 4 Film.
