His Girl Friday (4K) + ACMI Matinees

Join us in the cinema for the new 4K restoration of the quintessential screwball comedy starring sparring partners Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.

Cary Grant is newspaper editor Walter Burns in Howard Hawks’ breakneck comedy. A sore but repentant loser, Burns is intent on winning back his ex-wife and ace reporter, Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), who’s just about to hang up her press badge and set up house with an insurance salesman.

When a front-page story breaks the day before Hildy’s nuptials, Walter pulls out all the stops to thwart her plans to settle down and win his spirited career gal back.
