I did not do live-blogging because I am not a very fast typer and the movie was fast-paced so I felt it was easier to jot down notes and come back to blog about it later...
His Girl Friday is a 1940s comedy filled with sarcastic humor. The main character, Walter Burns, is a newspaper editor for the Morning Post who is desperately trying to get his ex-wife Hildy back. Hildy was a former well-known and talented reporter who wants to shed the image of being a newspaper reporter. She is about to marry a man named Bruce whom she expects to treat her as a real woman, unlike the way Walter treated her. Walter tries to get Hildy to come back and cover one last story about a convicted murderer, Earl Williams, who is on death row. However, Williams ends up escaping from jail. The whole time all of this is going on Walter is scheming and trying to find ways to win Hildy back. He sets up Bruce to get arrested and kidnaps Hildy's future mother-in-law. In the end we find out that Williams is not guilty and city officials actually set him up. The movie just ends without us knowing what happens between Walter and Hildy and Bruce.
