Final Thoughts on Howard Hawks

Well I hope you enjoyed my month long look at the works of Howard Hawks. He was one of the great economical directors who ever worked. You could say he gave you everything you needed to know in a scene and left no baggage. Hawks was underrated in his day, but now he's ranked among the greatest who ever lived. I think part of the reason Hawks was so underrated was because he made films that were entertaining first and foremost, but once you scratched the surface on what his films were really about, you could see a wonderful depth within them. Stay tuned next month for another special announcement.
