Hollywood Mysteries #10 - Howard Hawks, The Gray Fox

In this episode of Hollywood Mysteries, we're taking a look at one of Hollywood's greatest auteurs, Howard Hawks. He was known for the masculine tone of his films, but also for his revolutionary introduction of strong willed female characters played by iconic figures such as Louise Brooks, Katharine Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Away from the screen, the Sphinx-like Hawks was something of an enigma with a reputation for an authoritarian approach of extreme emotional reserve. But there were far greater complexities at work in his highly original mind. So, settle in for another Hollywood Mystery, with the Film Noir mood of rain on a deserted L.A. sidewalk, deep into the night, as always. Stay tuned for more mysteries!
