I don't think I would classify that one as a screwball comedy because the deck is so thoroughly stacked against Doris Day's character, no matter how much window dressing of independence and agency her job provides.
Ah, I see. I admit it's been a while since I've seen the films but I could see that happen.
Hm. I honestly can't think of a screwball comedy then, classic or recent (other than Down With Love, I guess). It's a little sad, actually.
