Plot
A newspaper editor tries to win back his ex-wife and star reporter before she remarries.
Sinekatalog’s take
Howard Hawks's rapid-fire newspaper comedy has a divorced editor and reporter bickering. Its overlapping dialogue is dazzling, and Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell give a lesson in screwball.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
