His Girl Friday was my first screwball comedy. After the first 10 minutes of watching it I found out why they call it a screwball comedy. This film was fast paced throughout the entire length and at times dialogue overlapped because of how the characters spoke.
one reason why this film was important is because of the gender swap. His Girl Friday was the first to do this adding a whole new angle to the genre. Another point worth mentioning was the amount of sexual innuendos and play on words. This is combination with the story's plot created a one of a kind film for its time.
I enjoyed this film because of its speed. It kept you on four feet and kept you thinking. If you spent too much time trying to pay attention to one thing chances are that you missed something else that was important.. Would I recommend this to other people involved in film culture? Yes. But it would come with a warning to pay nonstop close attention.
