Tea & Movies: His Girl Friday (1940)
Monday, August 10, 2026
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Don Mills — Auditorium
Settle in for an afternoon of classic cinema, fresh coffee, and hot tea at the Don Mills Library as they screen the undisputed masterwork of screwball comedy: Howard Hawks's *His Girl Friday* (1940).
Starring Cary Grant as a smooth-talking newspaper editor and Rosalind Russell as his razor-sharp ace reporter ex-wife, the film crackles with some of the fastest, funniest dialogue in cinematic history. As the reporter is moments away from remarrying and leaving the newsroom behind, her ex-husband pulls out all the stops—including a death row scoop—to win her back.
Running from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the Don Mills Auditorium (888 Lawrence Avenue East), this free community event is drop-in with no registration required. It's a wonderful, cozy way to spend a Monday evening, with the nearby Shops at Don Mills offering plenty of options for a pre-movie dinner or post-film stroll.
