Alex has a great post about one of my favorite movies ever made: His Girl Friday.
A couple of my favorite quotes from the film (the title of this post is one of them):
Hildy: If I ever lay my two eyes on you again, I’m gonna walk right up to you and hammer on that monkeyed skull of yours ’til it rings like a Chinese gong!
Hildy: He treats me like a woman.
Walter: What did I treat you like? A water buffalo?
Walter: There’s been a lamp burning in the window for ya, honey.
Hildy: No thanks – I jumped out that window a long time ago.
Walter: Look Hildy, I only acted like any husband that didn’t want his home broken up.
Hildy: What home?
Walter: “What home”? Don’t you remember the home I promised you?
Cary Grant does more acting with his facial expressions in His Girl Friday than most actors do with pages and pages of dialogue written just for them by sycophantish script doctors!
He frequently breaks me without saying a word…
