"His Girl Friday" On a Tuesday

Clooney and Roberts.

Cokie and Steve Roberts agree: as journalists who are married and work together, the secret to their success is to “edit… gently.”

Both discussed Howard Hawks’ 1940 comedy “His Girl Friday” with Nick Clooney at Tuesday evening’s Reel Journalism Film Series, presented by American University’s School of Communication and the Newseum.

Illustrating the strains their hectic schedules must have on any journo couple– Cokie chatted in person, but Steve pre-taped the interview.

The film focuses on Rosalind Russell as Hildy Johnson and Cary Grant as Walter Burns– journos and former spouses fated to chase after the story and each other.
