Nostalgic for a true classic in our 1936 cinema?
Join us for a rapid-fire masterclass in wit where Cary Grant’s relentless charm collides with Rosalind Russell’s unbeatable reporting instincts. It is the ultimate high-speed screwball comedy, proving that in the newsroom, a sharp mind and even sharper dialogue are the only way to get the scoop and out-maneuver an ex-husband.
The 1930s were the first full decade of "talkies." Director Howard Hawks pushed new sound technology to its limit by pioneering overlapping dialogue, instructing actors to speak roughly 20% faster than normal to simulate the frantic pace of modern city life.
This film had its world premiere in New York City on January 11, 1940, followed by a general theatrical release on January 18, 1940.
Join us for this screwball classic!
