Hildy is matched in force only by her conniving but charismatic editor and ex-husband, Walter Burns (played by the peerless Cary Grant), who dangles the chance for her to scoop ...

    Howard Hawks’ His Girl Fridayreceives a new Blu-ray edition from the Criterion Collection, presenting it in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on the first dual-layer disc of this two-disc set.
