watching the talkies

Tonight’s feature presentation was His Girl Friday (1940), and it left a bad taste. Summary: a chick digs a guy who’ll do anything, including framing innocent people for felonies, to win her.

Do they still make movies in which a reporter dupes someone for a story and then repents? (It Happened One Night (1934), Mr Deeds Goes to Town (1936), Roman Holiday (1953) . . . )
