Howard Hawks on Blu-ray

[bonehica]

Arguably the most versatile director in the history of Hollywood, Hawks' films spanned multiple genres and were often definitive. Whether it was Gangster (Scarface), Film Noir (The Big Sleep), Screwball Comedy (Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday), Musical (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), Western (Rio Bravo, Red River), Sci-Fi (The Thing From Another World) or Action/Adventure (Hatari!), Hawks demonstrated an ability to handle them all. He was often referred to as a man's man. His enjoyment of flying airplanes, riding motorcycles and racing cars was renowned and his male characters were often a reflection of himself. And then, of course, there is the "Hawksian Woman": Independent, strong willed and tough minded, they were able to cut those very men down to size with just a look and a few choice words.
