I just got the Criterion Blu-Ray of this, so I thought I should give it a rewatch. To be honest I just had it on in the background while I did work, but man I just love this movie. Every single line is so expertly crafted and hysterical. One of the best written films EVER. THE FAVOURITE is the only other movie that comes to mind where every line is so expertly crafted as HIS GIRL FRIDAY. The Blu-Ray also comes with THE FRONT PAGE (1931) an earlier movie based on the same play that HIS GIRL FRIDAY is based on. I’m excited to check it out mainly cause Ben Hecht (the writer of the play) wrote it and was directed by the guy who did the original OCEAN’S 11 (1960) and ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
