The quintessential classic of Hollywood and American cinema. The exception to the rule that eclecticism is synonymous with mediocrity: Hawks did it all – gangster films, noir, war movies, westerns, and above all comedies – achieving outstanding levels everywhere. An intelligent and impeccable directing style, a handful of recurring themes, and a fundamentally clear-sighted optimism guided him in creating his perfect and immortal films. Classics, indeed.
