His Girl Friday

I’ve always loved his girl friday, the gender roles are ahead of its time. It’s the perfect mix of funny and dramatic. I’ve heard people say the plot and ending was silly but personally I think it was funnier that way and completely intentional.

This is worth watching if only because it’s 80+ years old but the gender dynamics feel incredibly modern - might really change your POV on mid-century history!

Although the word “Friday” is never uttered once in the entire runtime, the chemistry between Grant and Russell cements this as a classic. 3/5 ⭐️

When it comes to screwball comedy, it's probably the only time I don't mind ads on Tubi because it's so chaotic and fast-paced it gives me a minute to breathe. I enjoy every second of it, though, and Cary Grant is a master of the genre, and Rosalind Russell was fantastic as well.
