In this episode, James and Lara discuss the famous, rapid-fire, overlapping dialogue in HIS GIRL FRIDAY, which was clocked at 240 words per MINUTE! We also get into how director Howard Hawks allowed the actors to ad-lib, the fact that Rosalind Russell's character used to be a guy, and our friend Larry Morgan of the Snarkmonkey podcast joins us to to talk about the new HIS GIRL FRIDAY release from the Criterion Collection that features a restoration of the film's source material, 1931's THE FRONT PAGE. Plus, there's a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon moment where Lara tries to connect Ralph Bellamy to Kevin Bacon. Can she do it? Can YOU? Grab some coffee and join us for one of the finest examples of screwball comedy on film!
