      This is a specifically trait of screwball comedy (30s-40s as mentioned), not all "old" films. I personally found His Girl Friday a bit obnoxious in its exaggerated witty (and pretty abusive! :D) banter and hectic pace, even compared to other classics in the genre. Conversely, I really like Bringing Up Baby and love Arsenic and Old Lace.
