女友礼拜五

消失数月的王牌女记者希尔迪·约翰逊（罗莎琳德·拉塞尔 Rosalind Russell 饰）来到上司沃尔特·伯恩斯（加里·格兰特 Cary Grant 饰）办公室桌前，打算辞职去结婚。沃尔特当然不希望这样的事情发生，而更重要的是两人曾经是生活在一起的夫妻。在沃尔特眼中， 希尔迪是最得力的记者搭档，而希尔迪却更多期待着平静的婚姻生活。虽然两人已经离婚，但沃尔特仍然深爱着希尔迪。 　　一桩引发纽约城全程轰动的死囚越狱事件，让两人又开始了密切接触。最先抢到头条消息的希尔迪，在沃尔特的劝说下，决定与他合作完成最后一个报道。而不曾想的是，在种种意外情况的发生后，希尔迪渐渐发现自己已经无法离开沃尔特。Having been away for four months, Hildy Johnson walks into the offices of the New York City based The Morning Post, where she is a star reporter, to tell her boss, editor Walter Burns, that she is quitting. The reason for her absence was among other things to get a Reno divorce, from, of all people, Walter, who admits he was a bad husband. Hildy divorced Walter largely because she wanted more of a home life, whereas Walter saw her more as a driven hard-boiled reporter than subservient homemaker. Hildy has also come to tell Walter that she is taking the afternoon train to Albany, where she will be getting married tomorrow to staid straight-laced insurance agent, Bruce Baldwin, with whose mother they will live, at least for the first year. Walter doesn't want to lose Hildy, either as a reporter or a wife, and if he does, doesn't believe Bruce is worthy of her. Walter does whatever he can at least to delay Hildy and Bruce's trip, long enough to persuade Hildy to stay for good. His plan includes doing whatever he can to place Bruce in a bad light, while dangling a big story under her nose, namely covering what the newspaper believes is the unfair imminent execution of convicted cop killer, Earl Williams. Hildy doesn't trust Walter in dealing with her and Bruce in an above board manner, but the lure of what potentially may become the biggest story in years, which includes true love, a bumbling sheriff and a corrupt mayor, the latter's actions largely in light of an upcoming election, may prove to be too much for Hildy to resist, especially if it ends up being an exclusive. Regardless of the story outcome, Hildy will have to decide if the thrill of the chase was worth the anguish on her personal life.
