MM19: Hawks Screwballs feat. Theda Hammel & John Early

  • Summary

  • We’re joined by Theda Hammel & John Early to revisit director Howard Hawks, this time look at two of his classic screwball comedies: 1940’s His Girl Friday and 1938’s Bringing Up Baby. Both feature Cary Grant in complete goofball-mode bedeviled by brassy women who refuse to give him a dang break. His Girl Friday adds the levity of newsroom hijinks while reporting on the impending execution of an accused murderer, while Baby brings us the hilarious light touch of Grant and Katharine Hepburn dealing with a live leopard.


    Theda & John’s new movie Stress Positions is in theaters now!
