This 1940 film centres on a newspaper editor who is about to lose his ace reporter--and ex-wife--to another man, and is ready to do anything to get her back.

Comedies of remarriage were the result of stricter U.S. censorship in the early 1930s. Whilst often gently satirising issues of class, gender and power, comedies of remarriage ask the question: what if happily ever after started… with a divorce?

A classic of screwball comedies, His Girl Friday stars Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell as the editor and reporter. It is notable for its comedic moments and rapid dialogue.
