His girl fridayone of the fastest, funniest, and most quotable films ever made, his girl friday stars rosalind russell as reporter hildy johnson, a standout among cinema’s powerful women. Hildy is matched in force only by her conniving but charismatic editor and ex husband, walter burns played by the peerless cary grant, who dangles the chance for her to scoop her fellow news writers with the story of an impending execution in order to keep her from hopping the train that’s supposed to take her to albany and a new life as a housewife. When adapting ben hecht and charles macarthur’s smash hit play the front page, director howard hawks had the inspired idea of turning star reporter hildy johnson into a woman, and the result is an immortal mix of hard boiled newsroom setting with ebullient remarriage comedy. Also presented here is a restoration of the 1931 film the front page, lewis milestone’s famous pre code adaptation of the same material.4k uhd blu ray special edition featuresnew 4k digital restoration of his girl friday, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackone 4k uhd disc of the film presented in dolby vision hdr and two blu rays with the film, the front page, and the special features4k digital restoration of the front page, made from a recently discovered print of director lewis milestone’s preferred version, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackinterview with film scholar david bordwellarchival interviews with his girl friday director howard hawksfeaturettes from 1999 and 2006 about hawks and actor rosalind russellradio adaptation of his girl friday from 1940program about the restoration of the front pageprogram about playwright and screenwriter ben hechtradio adaptations of the play the front page from 1937 and 1946trailersenglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingplus essays on his girl friday and the front page by film critics farran smith nehme and michael sragowcover by randy glass
