I like Ball of Fire, but His Girl Friday and Bringing Up Baby are classics

saw a bunch more of his films recently
The Big Sleep was incredibly convoluted, even on second viewing. Maybe it was a great film, but I don't know
Thought Red River and Rio Bravo were great, Hatari! was interesting but I wondered about its treatment of the wild animals

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was very enjoyable I thought

Read Todd McCarthy's Hawks bio in January, this was maybe the most revelatory bit:
The final scene of what would’ve been Howard Hawks’ final film, When It’s Hot Play It Cool, written by the man himself circa 1976. pic.twitter.com/Iihua7IbVC— Nicky Smith (@nickyotissmith) January 24, 2021

Dan, no one involved in the making of The Big Sleep had any idea what was going on either, the trick is to sit back and enjoy. Hawks thought plot didn't matter.

it was interesting enough that I want to see it again

haven't seen Doris Day in any of her films with Rock Hudson yet, but I thought Paula Prentiss's loopy performance was really appealing opposite him in Hawks' "Man's Favorite Sport?"
