Book synopsis

During a career that spanned fifty years and produced more than forty films, Howard Hawks - writer, producer, and director - made highly successful movies and managed to maintain extraordinary artistic control at a time when studio moguls usually ruled. Hawks conquered virtually every genre, including action/adventure, comedy, western, film noir, gangster, science fiction, and musical films. He brought a unique stamp to all of his films by mixing dramatic and comedic elements, manipulating gender conventions, emphasizing story and dialogue, and eschewing cinematic trickery and sentimentality. His classic oeuvre includes: "Scarface", "Only Angels Have Wings", "His Girl Friday", "Sergeant York", "Bringing Up Baby", "The Big Sleep", "Red River", "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", and "Rio Bravo".
