2 - His Girl Friday (1940)

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.  Sources:  https://www.shmoop.com/study-guides/movie/his-girl-friday/summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Girl_Friday Credit for theme song:  Hot Swing by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3885-hot-swing/ License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
