Staring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell 1940
A spoof on the 1940's newspaper industry, Cary Grant plays Walter, a demanding newspaper editor. His ex-wife (whom he still loves, but never remembered to pay attention to) returns and announces her engagement. Hildy (Rosalind Russell) also happens to be his best journalist. He devises several schemes to try to get her away from her fiance and back to the newspaper.
This one of my favorite Cary Grant roles, because it suits him so well and he has so much fun with it. Hildy reminds me of the lead newspaper woman in The Hudsucker Proxy. The very witty, sarcastic dialogue never stops. This is a very funny, but not a very relaxing movie. If you like Grant and have the energy to follow the quick dialogue, you'll enjoy this movie.

I will put that one on my Netflixs cue. Mom
It was remade with Mathau and Lemmon - but the original is still the best. THere was also one with Grant and hepburn that had a similar feel (not sure but it might have been Philadelphia story)
