From the rear cover
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences belatedly recognized Hawks's six decades in films with an Oscar for career achievement in 1975, it cited him as a giant of the American cinema whose pictures, taken as a whole, represent one of the most consistent, vivid, and varied bodies of work in world cinema. This book shed new light on the personal concerns which Hawk brought to his films, bringing into clear focus the deeply ingrained ethical sense which enabled him to stamp his distinctive signature on what once appeared to casual moviegoers to be a random assortment of genre pieces. Hawk's relaxed comic perspective keeps his films as fresh today as when they were made, and it also enlivens this candid and frequently irreverent book. Listening to him discuss his working methods in Hawks on Hawks is the equivalent of attending a master class in the practical art of film direction.
