“His Girl Friday”: Howard Hawks Softened A Political Satire Into A Proto-Feminist Romcom
"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.

Carlos Bahia, a smooth-talking business duck, loves his drama-free life — until things spiral out of control. First, he fumbles asking out Lisa, the new HR rep. Then his bullied coworker, Horace, steals some alien-powered gauntlets, turning the office into chaos. When a cosmic entity ropes Carlos and Horace into saving the world, things only get weirder. Carlos ends up as the flashy hero Ultraduck, while Horace’s mishaps summon Omegallus, a city-destroying menace.
