He directed an impressive number of Hollywood's greatest stars--including Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Lauren Bacall, Rosalind Russell, and Marilyn Monroe--and some of his most celebrated films include \u003ci\u003eScarface\u003c\/i\u003e (1932), \u003ci\u003eBringing Up Baby\u003c\/i\u003e (1938), \u003ci\u003eThe Big Sleep\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), \u003ci\u003eRed River\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), \u003ci\u003eGentlemen Prefer Blondes\u003c\/i\u003e (1953), and \u003ci\u003eRio Bravo\u003c\/i\u003e (1959).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eHawks on Hawks\u003c\/i\u003e draws on interviews that author Joseph McBride conducted with the director over the course of seven years, giving rare insight into Hawks's artistic philosophy, his relationships with the stars, and his position in an industry that was rapidly changing.
