Walter Burns (Cary Grant) is an irresistibly conniving newspaper publisher desperate to woo back his paper’s star reporter, who also happens to be his estranged wife (Rosalind Russell). She’s threatening to quit and settle down with a new beau, but, as Walter knows, she has a weakness: she can’t resist a juicy scoop.
The hilarious battle of wits between two newspaper veterans explores ambition, love, and the irresistible pull of a great story, making His Girl Friday a timeless classic celebrated for its razor-sharp dialogue and unforgettable performances.
