CINEMASTERS: HOWARD HAWKS IN GLASGOW

Marilyn fans in the UK are being treated to a screening of two of her most beloved classics in an up and coming retrospective to the career of director Howard Hawks.  The “Glasgow Film Theatre” in Scotland, United Kingdom will be screening “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Monkey Business” throughout November.

“Howard Hawks was a true master of genre. He could turn his hand to any style of cinema, and produce a classic every time. So huge is his influence across golden era Hollywood cinema that even this series of six films can’t claim to include all his best. We couldn’t fit in The Big Sleep, Bringing Up Baby, Red River, To Have and Have Not, His Girl Friday… at least not this time. Nonetheless, this season offers an indispensable set of big screen classics. Treat yourself and don’t miss them.”

REMEMBERING HOWARD HAWKS

Remembering director Howard Hawks, born on this day in 1896. Hawks directed Marilyn in “Monkey Business” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” He also directed such classics as “Bringing Up Baby,” “His Girl Friday,” “To Have and Have Not” and “Red River.”

Speaking of Marilyn, Hawks once said:
“She was the most frightened little girl who had no confidence in her ability. There wasn’t a real thing about her. Everything was completely unreal.”



On the set of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”  L-R Howard Hawks, Jane Russell, George Winslow and Marilyn Monroe.
