Film Screening: His Girl Friday (1940)

Sunday, 2/18: His Girl Friday

Location: Fools Foundation - 1025 19th St. Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of Old Spaghetti Factory. 3:00 PM. Admission: $5.00.

This 1940 remake of “The Front Page” features Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in a hilarious, hyperventilating romantic comedy which delivers dialog at break-neck speed. Cary Grant portrays newspaper editor Walter, whose ex-wife and star reporter is Hildy (Russell). One day Hildy shows up to tell him she's quitting and getting re-married, Walter convinces her to take on one last "easy" assignment - an interview with a death-row inmate found guilty of killing a policeman. Throw-in a jailbreak, a suicide, a shooting, corrupt city officials and you've suddenly got one of the first and best screwball comedies ever!

We are doing regular weekly film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM and Sundays at 3 PM - most are $5 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time to time.
