- Tim Whelan, the tough managing editor of a big-city newspaper, is trying to prevent his star-sob-sister columnist and sometimes real reporter, Connie Taylkor, from marrying a reporter, Jerry Martin, who works for a rival newspaper. In carrying out his anti-matrimonial scheme, Whelan stages a fake-murder and diverts most of his staff from working on who-murdered-Andrews assignments to blocking a reconciliation between Connie and Jerry. Since Connie can survive getting shot and can solve a double-murder while wounded, it is apparent why Whelan doesn't want to lose her as an employee.
- A screwball comedy in the vein of <a href=">His Girl Friday (1940). Jerry and Connie are ace reporters for rival newspapers. They are engaged to be married, but their employers try every trick in the book to keep them apart. With the nuptials apparently thwarted, Jerry and Connie are sent by their respective newspapers to cover the Andrews murder case in Bridgeport. Will the couple reconcile or will professional competition drive them farther apart?
- The 1940 comedy "His Girl Friday" is a magnificent film based on the earlier film "The Front Page". In between these two films came "There Goes My Girl"--and while it must have been influenced by "The Front Page", I actually think "There Goes My Girl" was a big influence on "His Girl Friday". This is because "The Front Page" was not about a couple--and the two subsequent films were.<br/><br/>In this film, Jerry (Gene Raymond) and Connie (Ann Sothern) are reporters for rival newspapers. The problem is that Connie's editor is a super-conniver--and he always comes up with a way to prevent the wedding because he doesn't want his best reporter to retire to a life of domestic servitude. In other words, back in the day, wives stayed home and didn't work outside the home. As for Connie, she seems pretty stupid and keeps falling for Whelen's schemes and eventually Jerry walks out--unwilling to allow himself to be pulled into Whelen's games and Connie's falling for them.<br/><br/>Eventually Connie comes to her senses and pretends to be going on an assignment for Whelen--but she really travels to Connecticut because she's heard Jerry is there. Can Whelen manage to once again derail Connie now that she is finally determined to win back her man?<br/><br/>The film is a nice comedy and very enjoyable. It's remarkably similar to the other two films but the dialog isn't quite as sparkling and zippy as it is in "His Girl Friday"--and who can surpass Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell? Plus, it's just funnier.
- There isn't anything in THERE GOES MY GIRL that hasn't been done before in screwball comedies of the '30s and '40s. This has the feisty ANN SOTHERN playing a game of oneupmanship with would be hubby GENE RAYMOND, both of them cheated out of getting married by their scheming boss RICHARD LANE.<br/><br/>The story is absurd, the plot contrivances are everywhere, and it's just a matter of time before Sothern and Raymond are able to tie the knot by using physical restraint on Lane to keep him from interfering with their nuptial ceremony.<br/><br/>It's old hat stuff given a little too much zest from pert ANN SOTHERN, at her feistiest, and GENE RAYMOND, trying hard to be a comedian but not exactly a master of disguises. His French accent is a disgrace.<br/><br/>Newspaper stories were quite the fad in the '30s and this is just another one of those fast paced comedies that makes absolutely no sense when you stop to think about it. Other stars, like Rosalind Russell, Jean Arthur, Claudette Colbert, Irene Dunne and even Bette Davis, did similar screwball newspaper stories but with much better scripts.
