Today is the 125th birthday of the film director Howard Hawks. He directed one of my very favorite films Bringing Up Baby as well as His Girl Friday, The Big Sleep, Monkey Business, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and I Was A Male War Bride. The genres are as varied as the stories themselves, but all excellently told. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.
