Summary

[edit]
Description

Hilarious romantic comedy film directed by Howard Hawks starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Hildy Johnson (Russell) is a rough and tumble reporter looking to get out of the news racket by marrying and becoming a house wife after her divorce from newspaper publisher Walter Burns (Grant). Just when she is about to leave town with her husband-to-be the still lovesick, Walter drafts her to cover one final breaking news sensation.

Along with plenty of laughs and fast paced dialog, this film provides a witty and cynical look at the news business.
