Director Howard Hawks & star Cary Grant collaborated on one of the greatest comedies ever made with HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940). They liked working together and this 1952 comedy is very entertaining and the strong cast totally delivers. Some of the broad humor is a bit dated but over all Cary Grant gives it his all as does the wonderful Ginger Rogers. The superb supporting cast includes Charles Coburn, Hugh Marlowe and of course Marilyn Monroe at her most voluptuous. (The very next year she would make GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES with Mr. Hawks.) Three legendary writers - Charles Lederer, Ben Hecht and I. A. L. Diamond - worked on the screenplay and there are certainly many funny scenes and verbal jokes throughout.
