June 4 Ð HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)
When hard-charging New York newspaper editor Walter Burns (Cary Grant) discovers that his ex-wife, investigative reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell), has gotten engaged to milquetoast insurance agent Bruce Baldwin (Ralph Bellamy), he unsuccessfully tries to lure her away from tame domestic life with a story about the impending execution of convicted murderer Earl Williams. But when Hildy discovers Williams may be innocent, her reporter instincts take over.
The Hollywood screwball canon is rife with witty zingers and provocative repartee, but when it comes to sheer speed, nothing in the genre holds a candle to Howard HawksÕs newsroom rom-com His Girl Friday. In what remains the most beloved screen incarnation of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthurÕs much-adapted Broadway hit The Front Page, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell put a seductive spin on the cutthroat ethos of American journalism, trading barbs that establish their hard-boiled characters as both romantic soul mates and professional equals.

June 11 Ð MY MAN GODFREY (1936)
Fifth Avenue socialite Irene Bullock (Carole Lombard) needs a Òforgotten manÓ to win a scavenger hunt, and no one fits that description more than Godfrey Park (William Powell), who resides in a dump by the East River. Irene hires Godfrey as a servant for her riotously unhinged family, to the chagrin of her spoiled sister, Cornelia (Gail Patrick), who tries her best to get Godfrey fired. As Irene falls for her new butler, Godfrey turns the tables and teaches the frivolous Bullocks a lesson or two.
Gregory La CavaÕs deft film was the first to garner Oscar nominations in all four acting categories, and it is one of HollywoodÕs greatest commentaries on class and the social unrest of the Depression era.
