Product Description Hildy Johnson has divorced Walter Burns and visits his office to tell him that she is engaged to another man and that they are going to get married the day after. Walter Burns can't let that happen and frames the other man, Bruce Baldwin, for a lot of stuff getting him into trouble all the time, while he tries to steer Hildy back into her old job as his employee (editor of his newspaper). Written by Lars J. Aas {larsa@colargol.edb.tih.no} Walter Burns, editor of a major Chicago newspaper, is about to lose his ace reporter and former wife, Hildy Johnson, to insurance salesman Bruce Baldwin, but not without a fight! The crafty editor uses every trick in his fedora to get Hildy to write one last big story, about murderer Earl Williams and the inept Sheriff Hartwell. The comedy snowballs as William's friend, Molly Malloy, the crooked Mayor, and Bruce's mother all get tied up in Walter's web. Written by Steve Fenwick {scf@w0x0f.com}

Cary Grant - Comedian December 19, 2007 6 out of 10 found this review helpful
This is an incredibly fast and witty comedy, and it's pretty much considered the best (and fastest) dialogue by The American Film Institute, among others. The acting is great, Cary Grant is not unusually charming and hilarious. He even name-drops his real name, which btw is Archie Leach. Glad he changed it. Anyways, of course I was interested in this movie because of Cary, but it's really Rosalind Russell, as a surprisingly hard-nosed journalist, that really kept the movie going for me. The movie is fast, really fast, but I enjoyed it thoroughly all the way through.
