2 - His Girl Friday (1940)

At The Drive-In - A podcast by Tamira

Categories:

This week's episode I look at the classic screwball comedy "His Girl Friday" (1940). Although it is presented as a comedy, the more one looks into it, the more disturbing it gets. There are issues of racism and sexism that are hard to ignore, and that really should not be ignored.
