This remake of the classic play "The Front Page" features Cary Grant as Walter Burns, the conniving newspaper editor, Rosalind Russell as Hildy Johnson, his star reporter and ex-wife, and Ralph Bellamy as Bruce Baldwin, the mama's boy she is about to marry. In Howard Hawks's screwball masterpiece adapted from the stage play THE FRONT PAGE by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, star reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), once married to suave editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant), plans to leave the stressful newspaper world behind and marry a boring insurance agent. Walter won't reveal his feelings for Hildy but tries to keep her from leaving by convincing her to cover one last story, a politically motivated execution. When the convict manages to escape, chaos breaks loose, and Hildy finds herself working alongside Walter to break the story wide open.
HIS GIRL FRIDAY is a loose, freewheeling gem featuring some of the fastest dialogue ever filmed (peppered with inspired ad-libbing by Grant and Russell, each appearing at comedic high points in their careers). Hawks, who changed the original story of two newspapermen into a battle of the sexes, keeps the frenetic action careening forward and allows a few slim but luminous notes of genuine affection to slip into Hildy and Walter's storm of hilarious verbal barbs, creating a potent and heartfelt classic that stands as one of the most influential comedies ever made. HIS GIRL FRIDAY was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1993.
The film is remake of the original 1931 version, THE FRONT PAGE, directed by Lewis Milestone. His Girl Friday Reviews: "...One of the funniest American films ever made....Brilliant ensemble cast..." -- Rating: A
-- Steve Simels, Entertainment Weekly "...HIS GIRL FRIDAY is greatest newspaper comedy and one of the greatest screwball comedies ever made..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "[O]ne of the fastest, wittiest comedies in history."
-- Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly "[T]his classic, alternating between near-moronic farce and quasi-tragedy and blasting all the notes in between, features Cary Grant at his weaseliest."-- Premiere Staff, Premiere "Watch it and see what a frantic adventure love can be." -- Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly His Girl Friday | Studio | GoodTimes Entertainment | | Orig Year | 1940 | | DVD Encoding | Region 1 | | All Time Sales Rank |  36324  | | CD Universe Part number | 5354310 | | Catalog number | 81365 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Oct 01, 2002 | | Rating | Not Rated | | Running Time | 92 Minutes | | Additional Info | GoodTimes Entertainment | | Movie Details | B&W; GoodTimes Entertainment |

His Girl Friday film
$15.89
Personnel: Jerry Lee Lewis (vocals, piano); Keith Richards, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Buddy Guy (vocals, guitar); Delaney Bramlett, Don Henley, George Jones, John Fogerty, Kid Rock, Little Richard, Merle Haggard, Mick Jagger, Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Toby Keith, Bruce Springsteen (vocals); Jimmy Rip, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Kenny Lovelace, Robbie Robertson (guitar); Ronnie Wood (pedal steel guitar); Ivan Neville (organ); Butch Hutchinson (bass guitar); Jim Keltner (drums).
Around the time of his 71st birthday, rock-&-roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis unveiled LAST MAN STANDING, a celebratory outing that features a stunning cast of guest musicians, ranging from B.B. King and Little Richard to Merle Haggard and Neil Young. Among the many highlights of this album are Lewis's lively collaboration with guitarist Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin's "Rock N' Roll," a rendition that wonderfully plays up the tune's 1950s leanings, and the Killer's honky-tonk spin on Hank Williams's "Lost Highway," which points to his often-overlooked country recordings and features Delaney Bramlett's searing six-string work. Like the latter-day recordings of his old Sun labelmate Johnny Cash, this Lewis collection points to a remarkable legacy, while also displaying his still-formidable talents, resulting in a musical testament to aging impressively well.
It often seems like there are only two ways for rock, country, and blues veterans to launch comebacks when they're senior citizens: confront mortality head on or surround yourself with superstar guests to help carry you ...

Cora (Madeleine Stowe) and her younger sister, Alice (Jodhi May), both recent arrivals to the colonies, are being escorted to their father, Colonel Munro (Maurice Roeves), by a troop of British soldiers. Along the way they are ambushed by a Huron war party led by Magua (Wes Studi), a sinister warrior with a blood vendetta against Munro. Munro's soldiers are wiped out and Cora herself is nearly killed by Magua but is saved at the last moment by Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis), a white trapper raised by the Mohican tribe. Hawkeye promises to take Cora and her sister safely to their father, and along the way Cora and the intense Hawkeye fall in love. Together they must survive wilderness, war, and the relentless pursuit of Magua.
