No book in the entire field of film studies has had a greater impact on me than this one. Robin Wood's passionate and insightful analysis is the best possible companion to the films of the great American director Howard Hawks.Hawks, who died two years before I was born, is best known for adventure films about male bonding (Only Angels Have Wings, 1939, and Rio Bravo, 1959, are good examples) and quick-witted romantic comedies about attraction through antagonism (1938's Bringing Up Baby is his best).He made films in Hollywood in every decade from the 1920s to the 1970s, in a diverse range of genres, yet with a remarkable thematic consistency. For his success in making personal films within the Hollywood studio system, film critics celebrated him as a true artist (an auteur), at a time when considering film as art was still a radical notion.
