Walter Winchell steps into the role of Hildy Johnson surprisingly well – but then again why not, his staccato delivery makes him ideal to play a Hecht-MacArthur journo; he could have easily played Walter Burns but the part here is taken by James Gleason. Fast paced and entertaining, a wonderful play – although His Girl Friday is better, because it has the romance and introduces Walter Burns earlier.
