		Deutschland braucht weiterhin den Aufschwung, trefflich streiten lässt sich allerdings darüber, ob er bei den Herren der Schöpfung in der Hose anfangen muss.
		Ich aber saß da, aller Hoffnungen beraubt, und engagierte die Nächstbeste, für die die Blaue Grotte ein Bierlokal war, die mit der Orthographie in bitterer Feindschaft lebte und die alle paar Minuten in mein Zimmer kam, da sie ihr eigenes Stenogramm nicht lesen konnte.

	His Girl Friday: Special Edition (1940)
		In many cases, the answer is “no”, but in relation to 1940’s His Girl Friday, the reply is a resounding “definitely!” While the clothes and settings show their age, the rest of the movie generally does not, as the material remains nicely fresh and vibrant after six long decades.
		HGF adapts the successful stage play The Front Page for the screen with one major variation: one character - hot-shot reporter Hildy Johnson - is played by a woman instead of a man, and her editor Walter Burns becomes not only her boss but also her ex-husband.
		HGF featured almost no score; a few brief snippets of music appeared on a couple of occasions but these were so minor that they might as well have been non-existent.

	London Theatre Guide Review His Girl Friday Alex Jennings and Zoe Wanamaker 2003
		His Girl Friday is an adaptation of Ben Hecht’s & Charles MacArthur’s classic American comedy of the 1920’s “The Front Page” about a Chicago newspaper editor desperate to keep his best star [male] reporter on his paper by trying every trick in the book to stop him from marrying and leaving town.
		The play was later re-written as an even more successful film “His Girl Friday” where the journalist was now transformed into a woman, the editor’s ex-wife adding a romantic element to the plot.
		John Guare has now combined and reworked these two plots for this modern production of “His Girl Friday”, added a few new elements, and come up with a script full of witty, quick firing one-liners just like the two original works it is based on.

	What Time magazine's new publication date means. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
		Once Time starts arriving on Fridays, the two will have separate editorial rhythms, making them journalistic rivals in the sense that Time and Lucky are journalistic rivals: That is, not at all.
		The Friday pub date has long been studied at the two newsweeklies—and sickly U.S. News and World Report—as a way to break away from the pack, but until now none of the magazines has had the courage to make the jump.
		One economic advantage presented by the new pub date is the cheaper press time during a weekday as opposed to the more expensive weekend press time that the Monday pub date requires.

	Film Adaptation: His Girl Friday
		For instance, Hildy and Walter's marital history in His Girl Friday lends itself more easily to exploitation of a fundamental asset of The Front Page, a dialogue technique that critic Gerald Mast refers to as "verbal polyphony".
		Unlike many modern adaptations of drama, His Girl Friday does not exploit the spatial flexibility of film.
		With the exception of the first scene in Walter's office, lunch at a restaurant, and interview with Earl Williams, all of the action occurs in the newsroom of the County Courts Building.

		His Girl Friday is another of the screwball comedies so popular in the 1930's and one of the better ones.
		They've replated "The Front Page" again, have slapped "His Girl Friday" on the masthead and are running it off at the Music Hall as a special woman's edition of the frenzied newspaper comedy Hecht and MacArthur first published back in 1931.
		Pungent and garrulous, "His Girl Friday" is an implied argument that suggestion and implication are as effective as outright statement.

	"His Girl Friday" by Tom Powers
		Howard Hawks' film HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940) represents one of the major paradoxes of American narrative cinema — Hollywood's ability to incorporate images of social change into films that ultimately deny and frustrate the possibility of such change.
		But in HIS GIRL FRIDAY the words are spoken by a woman whom we already have seen kicking Walter under the table, and we certainly can imagine her pounding him over the head with her fist or a shoe.
		In HIS GIRL FRIDAY, Rosalind Russell clearly is the only person in the film who comes close to matching Grant's energy and wit, and Hildy is the only reporter talented enough to write the interview Walter Burns needs.

		His Girl Friday is one of those classics that manages to convince new viewers of its greatness despite any inflated expectations caused by its sky-high reputation.
		She goes on about how she wants to be a human being instead of a “newspaperman”, but she’s so appealing precisely because she’s the sort of fast-talking, quick-thinking creation that could only exist in the movies.
		His Girl Friday is too busy being funny to have time for such unnecessary moralizing.

	HIS GIRL FRIDAY
		Being a big fan of Cary Grant, I've seen many of his films, but HIS GIRL FRIDAY is definitely one of my favorites.
		HIS GIRL FRIDAY is one of his better roles, pitting him against Rosalind Russell in the screwball comedy to end all screwball comedies.
		Hildy sees right through Walter's charade – he tries to keep her in town by dangling the story of her career in front of her nose – however, in the end, she can't resist...the excitement of her job or her ex-husband.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: His Girl Friday
		Because His Girl Friday is a public domain film (it was originally produced by Columbia in 1940, but their rights have lapsed), there are several versions of the movie on home video, both on videotape and DVD.
		Thankfully, we were dead wrong — His Girl Friday is now on DVD from Columbia, and take a close look at that boxcover, because that's the only DVD version you should consider adding to your collection.
		Largely considered among the greatest screwball comedies of all time, His Girl Friday actually appeared on film before Howard Hawks made his version, as the story is taken from Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's stage play and 1931 talkie The Front Page about a dueling editor and reporter at a busy New York daily.

	Film Adaptation: His Girl Friday (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Most of the film's complexity arises from the gender change; altering the roles of the play converts the narrative from a simple comedy about the newspaper business to an intricate study of women's roles in society, with some subordinate attention to journalism.
		For instance, Hildy and Walter's marital history in His Girl Friday lends itself more easily to exploitation of a fundamental asset of The Front Page, a dialogue technique that critic Gerald Mast refers to as "verbal polyphony".
		Unlike many modern adaptations of drama, His Girl Friday does not exploit the spatial flexibility of film.

	Christopher Smith : Week in Rewind.com His Girl Friday Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It's the energy of "His Girl Friday" that grabs you, its heated lines of dialogue that leave you satisfied and spent.
		Headstrong, attractive and smart, her cutting barbs right in line with his, Hildy is indeed his girl, with Walter deciding upon seeing her soon-to-be husband, the perfectly nice but perfectly benign insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy), that he won't do for her.
		Hildy has other ideas about that, but soon is lured back to the job she loves when the film, dipping into the noir movement of the time, extends to include Earl Williams (John Qualen), a convicted felon about to be put to death for killing a fl policeman.

	His Girl Friday (1940) Starring: Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy - Three Movie Buffs Review
		His Girl Friday is one of those rare movies that will bring a smile to your face no matter how many times you watch it.
		I doubt though that a comedy whose central plotline concerns a man on death row and also features a suicide attempt by a girl who is shown jumping out the window and then virtually ignored by the film's protagonists could be sold in Hollywood today.
		His Girl Friday is at it’s best when Grant and Russell are sparring back and forth.

	His Girl Friday
		"His Girl Friday" is Howard Hawk's inspired remake of the award-winning Broadway play and previous movie release of "The Front Page." It's the story of a rapid-fire newspaper editor, Walter (Cary Grant) and his star reporter and ex-wife, Hildie Johnston.
		Hildie has decided to retire to the country with her soon to be new husband (Ralph Belamy).
		Its packaging features a disclaimer that reads "mastered from the original camera negative." This version of "His Girl Friday" exhibits -- in short -- exemplary video quality.

	HIS GIRL FRIDAY
		Adapted from a stage play co-written by long-time Hawks collaborator Ben Hecht, His Girl Friday had already been filmed in 1931 by Lewis Milestone as The Front Page (the title of the original play,) a scathing satire of the media, and newspapers in particular.
		The story, in both the play and the films, centers on a reporter and an editor who try to get the jump on a big story involving an escaped death row prisoner who probably shouldn’t even be there in the first place.
		His Girl Friday is enormously successful in drawing us into the dizzying world of fast-talking reporters, a group that would come off as selfish and inhuman if we weren’t so caught up in it all.
