His Girl Friday

This movie was alright, there were a lot of things that I did and didn't like about it. One thing that I liked about the film was the way it was about a couple getting back together, but there were other things going on like with the murderer, so you aren't bored. I thought that having the characters constantly talking so fast and constantly having more than one character talking at a time got progressively more annoying. The film lacked cinematic techniques, because the focus was supposed to be on the dialogue and acting, but that didn't help make the film any more exciting. Another thing that I didn't like about the film was the long duration of shots and the few settings of the film. The majority of the scenes took place in the press room, the restaurant, or the jail. I know that His Girl Friday was originally a play, which is why there are few different settings, but I thought that it made the film seem boring and pointless, since they never really went anywhere. I liked the way there was more than just a couple getting back together going on, but some of the parts got pretty confusing. One part that confused me was the part of the plot with the man who was bribed by the mayor or whoever that guy was, then he came back later at the end to confuse me more. I also thought that the end of the movie was confusing, the way Hildy and Walter were going to be arrested but then let go.
