Bringing Up Baby (1938) is the essence of thirties screwball comedy. It is also quintessential Howard Hawks, treating many of the director's favorite themes, particularly the loving war between the sexes.

Robert Pippin treats these films as sophisticated mythic accounts of a key moment in American history: its ?second founding,” or the western expansion. His central question concerns how these films explore classical problems in political psychology, especially how the virtues of a commercial republic gained some hold on individuals at a time when the heroic and martial virtues were so important. Westerns, Pippin shows, raise central questions about the difference between private violence and revenge...

Look for future studio head Sherri...

I love this book! When I was in school, everybody (parents, teachers, counselors) promoted the professions as a way to the top of the economic ladder. Just a few years later it was the professions augmented by computer know-how that would vault you into the financial stratosphere. But now with professional information available online, and routine computer work outsourced to Asia, those careers we once thought the path to security are fast becoming the Western world's 21st Century dinosaurs. So how...

Bogdanovich, Peter. The Cinema of HOWARD HAWKS. 38 pp. well illustrated catalogue. Small 4to, New York, M.O.M.A., 1962.

This essay shall approach this challenge with reference to two of Hawks' films: Only Angels Have Wings and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Both films will be interpreted according to the critical schematics of Peter Wollen and Jacques Rivette. It will be argued that while Rivette's thematic analysis of the dichotomy of Hawks' films implies a bi-polar opposition between order and chaos, Wollen's focus on the characters as exemplifying the dramatic and the comic allows us to more closely perceive the workings...

Pages: 328, Paperback, Rutgers University Press

The definitive screwball comedy, and one of the funniest films ever made. Grant gives his best comic performance as a hilariously befuddled, bespectacled anthropologist who becomes mixed up with daffy but determined heiress Hepburn (also in one of her funniest performances). Together, they tear apart the Connecticut countryside searching for leopards, pet terriers and an intercostal clavicle; all the while being mistaken for the notorious "Leopard Gang," big game hunters and nuts from Brazil. Grant...
