His Girl Friday by Howard Hawks is a screwball comedy about a man named Walter (Cary Grant) who writes for the local newspaper and wants to get back with his ex-wife. It is a little bit of a task because Hildy (Rosalind Russel) was about to head out of town to get away from the paper business and to be with her husband to be, Bruce, (Ralph Bellamy).
As the movie carries on you see Walter become less of a major character, and an ifluence of Hildy. Hildy wanted to move and go get married to him but as the movie progresses she can't find herself anywhere but with Walther around the newsroom. Bruce gets arrested a couple times and towards the end of the movie, he pretty much doesn't mean anything the Hildy. It's funny to think that Walter had such an influence on her to keep her around even though you know they have troubles in the past and have gotten divorced. I guess the newspaper business had something to do with it, but at the start of the movie you feel like she's going to leave right away and you're never going to see her again. I liked to see that Walter got more popular with Hildy as Bruce became nothing to her. Overall I thought it was a pretty good movie and I enjoyed that part about the film.
