Sull'Autore

Howard Hawks, an American producer, writer, and director, grew up in California, studied engineering, and served in the Army Air Corps during World War I. For 45 years he made movies in all of the standard Hollywood genres: popular "screwball comedies" like His Girl Friday (1940) and Bringing Up mostra altro Baby (1938), westerns like Red River (1948) and Rio Bravo (1959), musicals like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), gangster films like Scarface (1932), adventure films like To Have and Have Not (1944), and private-eye melodramas like The Big Sleep (1946). These were not run-of-the-mill movies, however, for Hawks infused them with his own style and themes. He tended to use a symmetrical structure and sparse dialogue, depending on concrete visual images to reveal character in action. Although he worked with some of the best writers in Hollywood (Ben Hecht, Jules Furthman, and William Faulkner, for example), he allowed his actors to add or alter lines, believing that improvisation improved the verisimilitude of a film. Hawks received only one Academy Award nomination in his career, for Sergeant York (1941), but he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy in 1975.

To Have and Have Not 🎥 di Howard Hawks

Harry Morgan and his alcoholic sidekick, Eddie, are based on the island of Martinique and crew a boat available for hire. However, since the second world war is happening around them business is not what it could be and after a customer who owes them a large sum fails to pay they are forced against their better judgment to violate their preferred neutrality and to take a job for the resistance transporting a fugitive on the run from the Nazis to Martinique. Through all this runs the stormy relationship between Morgan and Marie “Slim” Browning, a resistance sympathizer and the sassy singer in the club where Morgan spends most of his days.

Arcipelago in Fiamme di Howard Hawks

All'annuncio del proditorio attacco giapponese di Pearl Harbour, che lo sorprende in pieno volo, il comandante di una squadriglia di B.27 americani ordina agli apparecchi di procedere ognuno per proprio conto. Il " Marianna" si dirige verso la base piu' vicina, per rifornirsi di benzina e di munizioni; ma l'aeroporto e' sconvolto in seguito all'attacco aereo dei giapponesi. Dopo aver fatto rifornimento, il "Marianna" riparte. Attaccati dai caccia giapponesi, gli aviatori si difendono eroicamente, abbattendo molti apparecchi nemici. (fonte: amazon.it)… (altro)
