Über den Autor

Howard Hawks, an American producer, writer, and director, grew up in California, studied engineering, and served in the Army Air Corps during World War I. For 45 years he made movies in all of the standard Hollywood genres: popular "screwball comedies" like His Girl Friday (1940) and Bringing Up mehr anzeigen Baby (1938), westerns like Red River (1948) and Rio Bravo (1959), musicals like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), gangster films like Scarface (1932), adventure films like To Have and Have Not (1944), and private-eye melodramas like The Big Sleep (1946). These were not run-of-the-mill movies, however, for Hawks infused them with his own style and themes. He tended to use a symmetrical structure and sparse dialogue, depending on concrete visual images to reveal character in action. Although he worked with some of the best writers in Hollywood (Ben Hecht, Jules Furthman, and William Faulkner, for example), he allowed his actors to add or alter lines, believing that improvisation improved the verisimilitude of a film. Hawks received only one Academy Award nomination in his career, for Sergeant York (1941), but he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy in 1975.

Rezensionen

Hatari! von John Wayne

Regisseur Howard Hawks arbeitet hier erneut mit John Wayne zusammen, der eine Gruppe bestens ausgebildeter Großwildjäger in Afrika anführt. Jedoch benutzen Sie keine Kugeln - sie fangen die wilden Tiere mit Seilen und Kameras für Zoos und Zirkusattraktionen. Es ist ein aufregendes Geschäft: Mensch gegen Tier. "Hatari" bedeutet auf Suaheli "Gefahr". Aber Hatari! bezeichnet auch einen spektakulären Abenteuerfilm. Dieser erstklassig besetzte Film glänzt mit Hardy Krüger, Red Buttons und Elsa Martinelli. Der fantastische Soundtrack mit dem Erfolgshit "Baby Elephant Walk" stammt aus der Feder von Henry Mancini.… (mehr)
