Top Critic It's exactly the type of craziness that good newspapers thrive on. Stop the presses.

Casting is excellent, with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in the top roles.

Top Critic One of the best screwball comedies, a remake that improves on the source material due to Hawks brilliant idea of changing the protag's gender thus turning it into a romantic "newspaper" film; Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy at their best

O ritmo frenético com que os excelentes diálogos são trocados (algo inovador para a época) e o timing cômico impecável de Grant e Russell garantem a permanência deste filme na lista de clássicos inquestionáveis.

A double espresso is needed to keep up with the rapid-fire exchanges of Hawks' no-holds-barred muckraking comedy.

It's the energy of "His Girl Friday" that grabs you, its heated lines of dialogue that leave you satisfied and spent.

Cary Grant as the ruthless fast-talking sharpie newspaper editor gives one of his finest performances.
