His Girl Friday is a remake of The Front Page, only this time the two main characters are male and female, which throws some romance into the mix. Cary Grant and Roslind Russell are at the top of their game in this film playing a divorced couple that once worked together as newspaper reporters. As the movie progresses we find that they are still a great team. The best part about the film is the quick, snappy dialogue. I remember reading somewhere that Hawks directed the actors to begin their lines just before the line before theirs ended. This made for, not only quick dialogue, but sometimes overlapping conversations that seemed very much like real life. These days I would compare the writing style to Aaron Sorkin's best work--quick and witty.
