Before Cary and Katharine
Ultimate Addict — ... Later on this week I'll be taking part in Only the Cinema's Early Hawks Blogathon, which wants contributions about Howard Hawks' work prior to his 1938 masterpiece Bringing Up Baby.

Department of Having Been Remiss
Some Came Running — ... I feel like a bit of a blogging shitheel. I got a head's up about the Early Howard Hawks Blogathon from its instigator, Only The Cinema's Ed Howard, quite some time ago, and filed it, and...forgot, and today I get a reminder that it starts...today. ...

Screenwriting News & Links! 1/15/09
Mystery Man on Film — ... Peter Morgan has heightened certain elements for the sake of drama. So instead of showing Frost as competent, professional and methodical, backed up by a year’s worth of research, he instead frames the story a little bit like Richard Wilkins extracting a mea culpa from George W Bush over Iraq. It makes the eventual "gotcha" moment many times more effective, despite the audience knowing from history how the interview will pan out. Yeah, baby! An Early Howard Hawks Blog-a-thon! ...

The Conversations: David Fincher
The House Next Door — ... So obviously, I wouldn't be as reluctant as you to attribute the subtextual content of these films to Fincher himself. True, he has never written one of his own scripts, but at the very least, he chooses his material, and he chooses how to interpret it: what to emphasize, what to play down, how to shoot each scene. I've been writing about Howard Hawks a lot recently, and a comparison between Fincher and the classical Hollywood auteurs seems especially apt. Hawks rarely wrote his own scripts, and unlike Fincher he also often worked on studio assignments that he might not have ...

Early Hawks Blog-A-Thon: Ceiling Zero (1936)
Ferdy on Films, etc. — Early Hawks Blog-A-Thon Ceiling Zero (1936) Director: Howard Hawks By Marilyn Ferdinand This is part of the Early Hawks' Blog-A-Thon hosted by Ed Howard at Only the Cinema. Richard Schickel reports in his book, James Cagney: A Celebration, that he was lolling around the set of Ragtime helping Pat O’Brien and Cagney pass the time between calls . Idly, Schickel asked them what they thought was the best of the 11 pictures they did together. “O’Brien unhesitatingly named Angels with ...

Early Hawks Blogathon: Scarface (1932)
Ultimate Addict — ... This post is part of the Early Howard Hawks Blogathon over at Only the Cinema. Enjoy and check out the interesting posts there. Firstly I'm gonna list the Howard Hawks films that I have seen, and then I'm gonna start discussing Scarface, which I caught the other day. Incidentally, I like all of these films, although I'd say that they get worse throughout the chronological list:- ...

Fazil, I have failed you
Cinema Styles — ... , or for the high-minded, Seul le Cinema, has an Early Howard Hawks Blogathon going on and I promised I'd participate. I was all ready. I had a plan. And it was a good plan. Well, not that good, but it was an okay plan. Okay, it was a crappy plan, haphazardly thought out and meagerly researched. But still, it was a plan of some kind and that's worth something right? See, there's this early Howark Hawks film from 1928, Fazil, starring Charles Farrell as an Arab who falls in love with a French woman played by Greta Nissen. Charles being an ...
