His Girl Friday...
This film was alright in my opinion, it was not great or bad. I just thought too many things happened at one time, one after another. There was that one scene where a convict is hidden inside a desk and then a woman jumps out of a window. Things are happening so fast, and nothing seems to be important. Hildy Johnson seemed weak at the end, when she was asking Walter Burns where they would be going for a honeymoon. She seemed like a giddy school girl for a slight moment, nothing like the powerful woman she was at the beginning of the film. I did not understand what the point of this part of the film was meant to do, was it meant to show that Walter and Hildy would be together again, or was it supposed to show that all women want to have one of those fairytale lives and that they only act tough. I think it could be interpreted either way, but I hope the second option is not what it is supposed to be. I find it impressive that all of these things could happen when there were only five different settings in the entire movie, Walter's newspaper, the restaurant, the news reporter office, the jail cell, and the street. Overall this movie was entertaining, but I think it was just too many things happening at the same time and many of the things having no purpose. I would recommend watching this movie, but prepare to be focused on the film the entire time, or you might miss something important to the plot, especially when Hildy and Walter start to talk.

Thank you for Commenting on my blog. I also agree that at least there would be something more realistic to make her suddenly changed her mind to come back to Walter.
Though i agree with your analysis with this movie; i believe that these characteristics make it bad.
I thought that even with all the events happening at the same and having so much going on it was all pointless, I think this is what you said too.
"too many things happened at one time, one after another" I agree with this, as you may have to focus on many things at once, which can sometimes distract the view from the main point of the film. I also like how you pointed out Hildy as a "giddy school girl". I also didn't understand why Hildy acted so strong, but just fell apart at the end when she asks Walter where they will go for their "honeymoon". Great post.
