Perhaps the funniest comedy ever made. This inspired adaptation adds an extra dimension of exploitation by turning Hildy Johnson into Walter Burns ex-wife.
A classic unrelenting hilarious war-between-the -sexes comedy in which a reporter and her ex-husband editor helps a condemned man escape the law - while at the same time furthering their own ends as they try to get the big scoop on political corruption in the town. One of Howards Hawks' most furious and inventive screen combats in which women are given a uniquely equal (for the time) footing, with staccato dialogue and wonderful performances. This, the original has stood the test of time.
