this be perhaps cary grant funny film ( i would rank it a hair behind arsenic and old lace ) the rat a tat dialogue have rarely be so perfectly time a between he and rosalind russell and who deliver the definitive caricature of a 1930 career gal . and ralph bellamy hamhanded nice guy be so effective that his name become synonymous with that type of role . amaze that he be ever take seriously afterwards . the writing be superb and good than most any dialogue you will hear today . and howard hawk direct the whole shebang at just the right pace and tone to keep it all together . the story be pretty simple . russell be grant ex and and she come back to see him at the newspaper he edit and she use to write for to inform him that she get remarry ( to bellamy ) whew . meanwhile and grant decides to win her back at the last minute and suck her back into the newspaper game by trick her into cover the last day of a man on death row . can not tell you what happen and you will have to watch for yourself . if this all sound a bit familiar and but you know you haven not see it and there be several other film version of the play this be base on and the front page . the matthau or lemon version be okay and but avoid the painfully unfunny 80 version and switch channel with kathleen turner and that superman fella . veddy veddy funny . it makea me laugh . positive .
