It’s a great honor to be joined by one of the most eminent figures in all of film criticism, Molly Haskell, for a special screening of Howard Hawks’ lightning-paced screwball comedy HIS GIRL FRIDAY, followed by an audience discussion with Haskell.

REVIEWS

“Hawks has given us some of the most exhilaratingly rambunctious and assertive heroines in cinema. They have outlasted more pliant female characters, becoming prophetic representatives of a species of women who yearn for something beyond settling down and nesting, with or without marriage and family.” – Molly Haskell, Holding My Own in No Man’s Land: Women and Men and Film and Feminists

“One of the glories of American film… A relentless comedy of talk, action, and bad manners; it is a loving tribute to the newspaper business filled with contempt for those who work in the business; and is possibly the greatest of the sublime comedies of remarriage made in Hollywood.” – David Thomson, “Have You Seen…”
