Man's Favorite Sport?
It takes a girl to supply the answer!
Directed by Howard Hawks
Produced by Universal Pictures, Gibraltar Productions
A lighthearted screwball romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and escalating farce, where a fishing fraud and a persistent woman collide in a tournament.
Roger Willoughby is a renowned fishing expert, who, unbeknownst to his friends, co-workers, or boss, has never cast a line in his life. One day, he crosses paths with Abigail Paige, a sweetly annoying girl who has just badgered his boss into signing Roger up for an annual fishing tournament.
