His Girl Friday by Eric Rohman, 1940

This vibrant poster for the Swedish release of the 1940 classic *His Girl Friday* perfectly captures the chaotic energy of Hollywood's screwball comedy era. Rosalind Russell looks absolutely fierce, clutching a submachine gun in one hand and a telephone receiver in the other, while Cary Grant sports a classic fedora and an equally intense expression on the other end of the line. The bold Swedish title 'Det ligger i blodet' translates to 'It's in the blood,' hinting at the adrenaline-fueled world of fast-talking journalists. It's a brilliant mix of photographic portraits for the stars and sketchy illustrations that depict the frantic romance and action unfolding behind them.
