Bring your hearing aid, grandpa—this brilliant
Cary Grant vehicle is documented as having
the fastest dialogue in film history (just check
that old Book of Lists on your shelf). At a time
when screwball was more the order of the
day, only the ever-cerebral Rosalind Russell
could star in two of the smartest and most
cynical comedies of 1939 and 1940, The
Women and this gem from Howard Hawks.
Plus, they really hate reporters in this film—
REALLY.
