This is not a forgotten film, although many are less familiar with this version than with Cary Grant/Roslyn Russell version filmed as His Girl Friday.
Produced by Howard Hughes and directed by Lewis Milestone, this early version of the Ben Hecht/Charles MacArthur play features Adolphe Menjou, Pat O'Brien, and Mary Brian, with assists from such great character actors as Edward Everett Horton, George Catlett, Mae Clarke, Gorge E. Stone, and Slim Summerville.
All the wackiness and humor of this oft-remade flick are here in spades.
Enjoy.
