	Howard Hawks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Howard Hawks (May 30, 1896 – December 26, 1977) was an American film director, producer and writer of the classic Hollywood era.
		Hawks was known for his versatility as a director, filming comedies, dramas, gangster films, sci-fi, pulp noir, and Westerns with equal ease and skill.
		Hawks' unpretentious and straightforward directorial style and the use of natural, conversational dialogue in his films have subsequently been a major influence on many noted filmmakers, including John Carpenter and Quentin Tarantino.

	Howard Hawks
		Indeed, Hawks was one of the few Hollywood directors to employ overlapping sound; as a result, dialogue in many of his films is delivered with the rhythm of machine-gun fire.
		Hawks' view of such "masculine" professionalism is similar to the idea of "grace under pressure" explored in fiction by his close friend, Ernest Hemingway.
		Hawks' movies would be of minimal interest if their vision were limited to the narrow notions of masculine professionalism offered in the action films.

	Howard Hawks Rediscovered
		Hawks was a much neglected director until the French critics of the Fifties saluted his personal style of filmmaking and established him as one oh Hollywood's great individual talents.
		Turning from the ostensible subject-matter of Hawks' films then, it is possible to discern a clear pattern of themes running through them: the group, male friendships, the nature of professionalism, the threats women pose to men, recurring motifs including the passing and lighting of cigarettes for friends, communal sing-songs and bizarre sexual role-reversals.
		Howard Hawks has created a body of work that in its laconic optimism is as majestic as the towering mountains Geoff Carter and his foolhardy band of pilots must fly over in the deliciously titled Only Angels Have Wings.

	Howard Hawks --[ EDITING ROOM ] SCENE 360
		Hawks is also credited with launching the career of Lauren Becall among others, although their relationship was one of unrequited love (Hawks was hurt when she fell in love with Humphrey Bogart).
		Hawks wanted tell a good story in the most entertaining way possible, and that he did, which might explain how his career was able to survive the change from silent films to talkies when many others were not so fortunate.
		Hawks was forced to tone down the film's violence and reshoot some scenes showing Italian Americans in a better light before the film was allowed to be released, costing it the honor of being the first great gangster film of the talkie generation (that honor was jointly usurped by Little Caesar and Public Enemy).

	The religion of director Howard Hawks
		Howard Hawks was a Christian Scientist from at least as early as age 15, and probably for many years prior to that.
		Hawks' brief account of his childhood reveals nothing on this subject, but given this unusual total lack of discussion about religious topics, it seems likely that Hawks was not an active member of any particular denomination.
		Hawks, then, was an intuitive, rather than an intentional, artist, in the sense that he did not set out to make statements about life, the condition of mankind, politics, war, history, or social conditions.

	WashingtonPost.com: Shooting From the Hip
		The gathering of these and other encomiums in one volume, Howard Hawks: American Artist, is testimony to the lofty reputation of the man who directed such varied classics as "Scarface," "Bringing Up Baby," "His Girl Friday" and "Red River." If that reputation was a long time rising, part of the reason is Hawks's homespun sensibility.
		You may recall that "To Have" marked Bogie and Bacall's sexy first pairing, that it derived from an Ernest Hemingway novel adapted for the screen by William Faulkner, and that it was made at Warner Brothers in the wake of "Casablanca," to which it bears a clannish resemblance.
		Hawks is the director whom, in the 1950s, auteur critics rushed to embrace: You are naturally freer to express your slant on the world despite the homogenizing effects of the Hollywood system when you sweep from studio to studio, choosing your projects and often producing and co-writing them in addition to directing.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Only Angels Have Wings
		In Hawks' films, the Group is often insulated and tightly knit, but his characters are generally not displaced from their original environment, culturally or geographically, as they are in Only Angels Have Wings.
		On an intuitive level, Hawks is acting as an armchair sociologist, and he documents the efforts of (and effects on) the film's central group to consciously erect new ways of dealing with the patterns of loss and grief that their adopted environments force upon them.
		Hawks always has this kind of duality in mind in his Group films—but it's never literalized and critiqued as overtly as it is here.

		Howard Hawks was born into a wealthy and well-connected Midwestern family who migrated to Southern California in the halcyon days of the early 1900s.
		And if Hawks' worldview was, in essence, a comic and carnivalesque one which revelled in gender/sex inversion, the informality, but importance, of nicknaming characters attest to a director's vision that disdained existential tragedy, conformity to institutions and authorities, and empty formality in social relations.
		Hawks' distinctiveness as a filmmaker is apparent when comparing the Steve and Slim of To Have and Have Not with the Harry Morgan and Marie (renamed Lucy) in Michael Curtiz's version of Hemingway's novel in The Breaking Point (1950).

		In the case of the Hawks film, Walter and Hildy are recently divorced.
		Hawks himself seems to be referring to the speed of delivery and he attributes the greater speed of His Girl Friday to the device of overlapping dialogue: "You put a few words in front of somebody's speech and put a few words at the end, and they can overlap it.
		Salt thus agrees with Hawks that the speed is a function of the rate at which the actors speak their lines, and also the introduction of more "business" in the staging of His Girl Friday.
