His Girl Friday (1940)

Here's the big scoop! For our February Extra Milestone, we're
getting down and dirty with His Girl Friday, see. Directed by
Howard Hawks and starring Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph
Bellamy (as himself?), and many others, we discuss how this 1940
film was made and what we think of it today, 80 years later.


Correction: In the episode, Sam incorrectly
states that His Girl Friday is #40 on Empire's "500
Greatest Films of All Time" list. It's actually #58. Sam
has been fully scolded for this error by his peers, but that
doesn't mean you should go easy on him.


Theme Music: the opening credits of His
Girl Friday.
