If you like the script in this one, I can't recommend <i>The Thin Man</i> highly enough.<br /><br />Oh, and James is wrong about <i>Bringing Up Baby</i>.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-83660166055153558252012-04-11T20:46:11.945-05:002012-04-11T20:46:11.945-05:00Nick, I think you hit the big points on His Girl F...Nick, I think you hit the big points on His Girl Friday. I love the rapid-fire dialogue, and Grant and Russell are both so great and charming. I also like the journalistic angle too. They're mostly portrayed as totally corrupt, but in a very likable way.

I've watched it again and while I do like it a lot, there are a handful of Hawks films I like a lot more. If you want more like this but with meatier stories, I recommend Only Angels Have Wings and Bringing Up Baby.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999103091301885129noreply@blogger.com
