Il regista e sceneggiatore americano Howard Hawks (1896 – 1977) è a tutt’oggi ricordato come uno dei più formidabili cineasti della Hollywood classica. Celebre per le screwball comedy dai ritmi velocissimi come Susanna! (1938) e La signora del venerdì (1940), grazie all’elegante narrazione visiva che contraddistingue film quali Avventurieri dell'aria (1939), Acque del Sud (1944) e Un dollaro di onore (1959), ma anche per come privilegiava i personaggi femminili forti, Hawks è stato ben presto amato dalla critica d’autore.
Howard Hawks (1896 – 1977) was an American director and screenwriter and is remembered today as one of the most formidable filmmakers of the classical Hollywood era. Noted for fast-paced screwball comedies like Bringing Up Baby (1938) and His Girl Friday (1940), his elegant visual storytelling in films like Only Angels Have Wings (1939), To Have and Have Not (1944), and Rio Bravo (1959), and his penchant for strong female characters, Hawks was an early favorite of auteurist critics.
