Howard Hawks (30 maggio 1896 - 26 dicembre 1977) ? stato un regista cinematografico, tra i pi? apprezzati dalla critica dell'era classica di Hollywood.
Hawks diresse molti film considerati classici in diversi generi:
Il grande sonno (The Big Sleep) - film noir
Susanna (Bringing Up Baby) - commedia
La signora del venerd? (His Girl Friday) - commedia
Scarface (Scarface) - film di gangster
Il sergente York (Sergeant York) - film di guerra
Gli uomini preferiscono le bionde (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) - commedia
Il fiume rosso (Red River) - film western
Un dollaro d'onore (Rio Bravo) - film western
Hawks ha inoltre prodotto La cosa da un altro mondo (The Thing From Another World), considerato uno dei migliori film di fantascienza degli anni '50. Si ritiene che questo film sia stato anche diretto da Hawks, nonostante fu attribuito ufficialmente a Christian Nyby.
Hawks era conosciuto per la sua capacit? di creare storie riguardanti il mondo del cinema, solitamente in un modo che accresceva ulteriormente i suoi gi? grandi contributi all'ambiente. Una di queste storie vede Hawks proporre a Ernest Hemingway di ricavare un bel film dalla peggior cosa che questi avesse mai scritto, al che Hemingway lo sfid? a fare un film da Avere e non avere (To have and have not). Il film di Hawks, il cui copione era stato adattato da William Faulkner, potr? non essere un classico, ma include scene memorabili come gli sforzi di Lauren Bacall per insegnare a Humphrey Bogart a fischiare.
