ABOUT THE FILMS HIS GIRL FRIDAY, 1940, Sony Repertory, 92 min, USA, Dir: Howard Hawks. This frenzied remake of Hecht and MacArthur’s THE FRONT PAGE stars Rosalind Russell as ace newswoman Hildy Johnson and Cary Grant as cynical editor Walter Burns. The unparalleled cast includes Ralph Bellamy, Gene Lockhart, Porter Hall, Ernest Truex, Roscoe Karns, Cliff Edwards, John Qualen, Billy Gilbert and others, and features some of the most rapid-fire dialogue ever, by screenwriters Charles Lederer, Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. FORMAT: DCP BRINGING UP BABY, 1938, Lobster Films, 102 min, USA, Dir: Howard Hawks. Perhaps the greatest and most influential screwball comedy of all time, with Katharine Hepburn letting her hair down as a madcap heiress and Cary Grant putting his up as the absent-minded zoologist she’s decided she’s in love with. It just doesn’t get any funnier – or more frantic – than this. With Charlie Ruggles, Barry Fitzgerald, May Robson, Walter Catlett, Fritz Feld and screwball mascot Asta as George the dog. FORMAT: DCP
