A director must go wild: "Now you're mad, right, look mad. Good. You're frustrated. Now, crumple up that paper. Pick up the phone. Put it down." He seems hopelessly, pitifully, out of place.

He may have ducked into a phone booth to change to period costume, but he has not left journalism. As Hildy Johnson, not-so-mild-mannered reporter for the Chicago Herald-Examiner, he fights a never-ending battle to prevent truth from getting...
...discover the pregnant, drunken Sue Ellen passed out in her station wagon on the side of a road. He was to pick her up and carry her to his car. But on the set, Duffy stood over Linda Gray and shouted, "This is a job for Superman!" He ripped off his clothes to reveal a full Superman costume. He lifted Gray and raised one arm to the sky as if to fly. Three times he tried to get off the ground, then shrugged and said quietly, "Aw hell, we'll walk...
