- Reason
- This movie is in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress, in preservation for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". This famous comedy being in public domain, starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell is something I think should be a Featured Picture here.

- Oppose - Much of the dialog in this film is still copyrighted since the play is still copyrighted: "The play on which the film is based, 1928's The Front Page, was copyrighted and renewed, which means it's still protected and therefore so is any work directly based on it. This makes His Girl Friday practically unusable in terms of free exhibition, because you'd need permission from the copyright owners of The Front Page, even though the film is, technically, public domain."[1] I've nominated the file for deletion on Commons.
