A perfect movie. That's it. Absolutely perfect.

The whole movie is a masterpiece, but Rosalind Russell is my screwball GOAT. I adore her in this.

I thought I would love this movie more than I did. This is supposed to be a screw-ball comedy, but I only laughed once during this whole movie. I was disappointed…

"His Girl Friday" is proof that not all classic films must be at a snail's pace. (I agree with others that the title makes no sense.) This was cracking good fun! Fabulous performances all around, and a terrific script.

I found the ending very satisfying, as it seemed to me that Rosalind Russell did a superb job of building evidence that journalism is what makes her heart beat.

It's quite ironic to me that some 21st century viewers found a man's encouragement of a woman's career to be a shame, and preferred she become a homemaker! This was a refreshing and interesting reversal for a 1939/40 film.

The opening title card said it all "you will see no resemblance to the men and women of the press of today." Ain't that fucking the truth! More so now than then. Reporters ain't shit now. I've seen this on my Top American Films of All-Time and Before 1976 lists on letterboxd for a while and now I saw it on Paramount+ so said why not? Hildy's pinstrip suit and hat are so awesome! Wonder what color it is?

The comedy is fast paced and rapid fire like you think of 1940s comedies of being. It's almost comforting like watching Dick van Dyke or something just relaxing and calming. But how is Hildy a girlboss while marring a insurance man? That's like if she married some Wall Street man or something it ain't any better than before. Anyway the movie pacing was amazing I wasn't bored at any point and it was funny throughout the run time. I can see why Quentin Tarantino put this in his top 11 list. Also the Mayor and the Sheriff are asshats. And all the actors did their thing in this wonderful picture.

Great movie, great script, great actors, great direction. The image of the press is still current. Delightful

I like movies from this era and Cary Grant movies, but this is utter fast talking nonsense and a serious yawn fest.

This was Cary Grant at his best. It's fast paced from start to finish and Grant's character is witty, hilarious, manipulative and an unforgivable cheat but all in the best way possible. It's just fun to watch. The ending is a bit abrupt and the main character of the story they're writing mentions some important clues that are never mentioned or followed up on but in the end the movie was never really about the story anyway. It's all about the ups and downs of their relationship. I miss the humorous twists and class of these old movies and this movie delivers that in spades.

A nice movie with a very frustrating ending!

I found this movie entertaining for the most part, repetitive in some parts, but the ending was too unsatisfying.

The plot overall is solid but I had difficulties to get into the tone of the movie. It is supposed to be a comedy but some events were far too serious to laugh about. The audience is expected to laugh about how they bully an innocent guy or how Walter Burns ruins the life of Hildy. It was more tragic than comedic for my tastes - but it is, of course, possible that this is due to values dissonance.

The best thing about this movie is the timing and rhythm of the script - also the script in general - and the performance of Rosalind Russell. For some parts I loved the dialogue but got annoyed by the yelling parts.

All in all, I think this movie did not age well for my tastes.

This movie got on my nerves. So. much yelling. The ending was forced. Didn't live up to my very high expectations.
