His Girl Friday
Don't blink, or you WILL miss dialogue!!
It's kinda funny that the SPEED of the words being said out weighs almost everything else that this movie has to offer.
And it DOES have a lot to offer. Which, to keep up with the dialogue does go at a break-neck speed.
The speed never really bothered me. Just as long as there were no distractions around me so that I could keep my full attention to this movie and truly enjoy all that it had to offer.
There are some great comedic bits in this. In particular, the side remarks among the other reporters stationed out at the prison. While at the same time it WAS a bit of a scary mirror to hold up to what the news was allowed to do without little to no responsibility or repercussions. But dwelling on such things is a bit counter productive for the film itself and its wit and speedy deliveries. So, enough of that.
This is one of the few films that I've been able to see a young Rosalind Russell and always knew her as
Auntie Mame which she is truly great in; so it was a great pleasure to see her in this. Going toe to toe with Cary Grant for savvy and quick thinking. Making a great and very diabolical team.
I must say, I really felt sorry for Bellamy's character who played the nice, understanding guy very well.
Another stand out enjoyment was this rotund messenger in the photo above. LOVED his scenes.
A very, very fun film and so glad I FINALLY got to see it!
