these were great, I wish we had access to all of these interviews. Peter was a great historian by having these interviews. I've read all his books but nothing like hearing it from the mouths of the artists. We'll never have film makers like these again.
Howard Hawks was a director who hade some failures like Land of the Pharaos or Mens favorite Sport but even his "failures" were entertaining, great movies and every minute watching them is fun and suspense. His "failures" are better than many sucesses of other director-producers.
Really look forward to each of these podcasts. I find them fascinating. It is a great to have such in depth interviews, to take the time to let conversation play out. I know there is more "bonus" material out there. Hope there is also more to come. Thank you, Ben.
Howard Hawks , Jaws came out, "you got to live it, before you film a story." I believe that; Red River, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, trilogy are the best films about U. S. Cavalry. Truly a great Director !
The poem that Mr. Hawks remembered so many years later was beautiful, so I looked it up and found it was written not by Kipling, but by Bartholomew Dowling.
Surprised that Hawks picked Scarface as his favourite among his many classics. Muni's crass overplaying blights the film for me. Who can ever tire of the wonderful verbal banter between Bogart and Bacall in Hawk's pictures? Rio Bravo, His Girl Friday , Ball Of Fire and all the rest are always a joy to revisit because of the time Hawks gives his characters to interact. Plots are usually a distraction to the delicious chemistry between the players...
I think almost every actor was guilty of "crass overplaying" in early talkies. It took them a while to discern the difference between acting in front of a camera & acting on a stage.
Yeah. To Have and Have Not, Only Angels Have Wings, and Rio Bravo express his cinematic vision much more profoundly. I guess he just liked making Scarface against all the opposing forces.
What an absolutely amazing and resonant voice Hawks had.

Thank you for sharing this gem of a conversation!

R.I.P. Peter Bogdanovich!
That was cool. Thank you.
Although Peter B has directed several great films, his real life's work is his film scholarship. Who The Devil Made It is essential.
And What's Up Doc is pretty much a conservation of Bringing Up Baby.
Always the director, Hawks even stages Peter and himself as you can hear.

Then they made the film when Alfonso was still doing his thing in Chicago !

Howard Hawks sounds like Walter Pidgeon.
