John Wayne and Howard Hawks: 1975 Oscars

[@skyeslaton3435]

Hawks is one of those directors that can make any genre sci fi, western, gangster, romance, war, comedy

John Wayne the best male actor of Classic Hollywood. Howard Hawks the best filmmaker ever. What friends!!!!!

[@TheTerryE]

One word: GIANTS. There will never be anyone like them again.

[@rossharmonics]

***** A friend who has written plays and short stories is venturing into screenplays, Someone suggested his studying Chinatowon, I seconded that and also suggested To Have and Have Not and Red River. Hawks was in on all the scriptwriting conferences. Those screenplays and the direction of those scenes shows the genius to understand how well people know one another by what they don't say and how the logic of the actual words is only part of what's being communicated.

Howard Hawks gave the stars of Red River belt buckles at the wrap. Duke and Howard exchanged buckles. Duke wore it many Westerns after.

[@TheTerryE]

I love the way Duke stands back when the standing ovation starts to allow Hawks to bask in the applause by himself. Total class act. To me the 3 greatest directors in American film are Ford, Hitchcock and Wyler. Then comes Hawks and a few others. But these men are just the greatest and their like is never to be seen again, sadly.

[@rossharmonics]

At 1:19 the Duke makes the gesture that is a repeated motif in Red River. It's great to see how much affection existed betwee him and Hawks. It's also great that Wayne had such a great relationship, personally and professionally, with two of the greatest directors of all time, Hawks and Ford. Sometimes, people put Hawks a notch below Ford. I think that has got to change. A number of cliches about Hawks are just that--repeated and then reinforced cliches, that distort his real genius. So far, no study of Hawks digs deep enough.

[@austinteutsch]

I rate Hawks above Hitchcock as the Best Director to never win a competitive Oscar due to him having so many great films in so many different genres. After watching Red River, John Ford said of John Wayne,"I didn't know the big lug could act."

[@rossharmonics]

Wayne;s favorite directors were Hawks and Ford. Cary Grant's favorites were Hawks and Hitchock. Whose name appears twive?

DUKE FORGOT HIS LAST FILM WITH HOWARD RIO LOBO

[@johnhintz4760]

John Ford.Howard Hawks. It's all good to me..O:-)

[@MrImiller07]

Hawks was still directing Wayne on stage up to the very end, motioning to him to exit towards the opposite side. Red River and Rio Bravo are two of the iconic Wayne films. Bacall says that after Hawks directed her opposite Bogart in To Have And Have Not, and she made a great personal success, Hawks was angry that she married her co-star and he chose not to put her under personal contract. She then made Confidential Agent and bombed. Hawks became almost as renowned as Ford for his versatility as a director.

[@kenmario6284]

Funny how at the end, the director knew which way to go.

[@MPresheva]

Duke was old fashioned conservative, but a very classy fellow. I think he had much better appearence as a private person than as an actor.

[@ramyocenar4806]

John Wayne, the "well-loved" guy in Hollywood and in the US.

[@gabrielhershman2313]

It wasn't 4 films - it was 5. Wayne omitted Rio Lobo.

[@pedrosilvaz1]

When Hollywood had Respect on what they actually showed in movies. Now and days most movie stars want to be politicians instead of actors or actresses, And now and days most actors or actresses believe they should get an Academy award just so they won't feel bad even though they're lousy actors or actresses that's pretty sad, these kind of people are making lousy movies. Oh put don't talk bad about them because they'll feel sad and the media will make you regret it even though they're lousy actors. I wonder how it makes them feel when they know they really didn't earn it but they still got an Academy award anyway oh well Hollywood has just been going down down getting worse and worse every year. And messing it up for the good actors. Anyway that's just my opinion I know doesn't matter but I just wanted to say it

Wait just a gosh darn second Duke mentioned 4 movies that Hawks directed Red River Rio Bravo Hatari and El Dorado ... but Hawks directed 5 Rio Lobo 1970 why was that one not mentioned?

[@liamreddy8366]

I think the year is wrong , this was before rio lobo was made

[@martianmanhunter37]

Rio Lobo didn't do well at the box-office and wasn't particularly well received critically. Even today consensus on the film is mixed while the 4 other Wayne/Hawks collabs are considered classics of the genre. It was probably left out because it was not a celebrated film. Among the film's detractor is Quentin Tarantino : "Quentin Tarantino cited Rio Lobo as one of the reasons he wanted to have a short directing career: "the most cutting-edge artist, the coolest guys, the hippest dudes, they’re the ones that stay at the party too long. They’re the ones that make those last two or three movies that are completely out of touch and do not realize the world has turned on them ... I don’t want to make Rio Lobo."

[@davec6780]

Wayne named "4 films" that Hawks directed him in (Red River, Rio Bravo, Hatari, El Dorado), but, doesn't Rio Lobo (1970) make 5 films????

[@frankmurray5216]

The greatest of all time!

[@Harringtonml54]

So, we are to believe that John Ford didn't think HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY was a good picture? That's what he won for the same year as SERGEANT YORK (and, of course, CITIZEN KANE). Wow.

[@rossharmonics]

How Green was My Valley remains my favorite film. Ford was always enigmatic in his remarks so they are never straight forward, 1941 was as amazing a year as 1939. Think of some of the other films - The Lady Eve, THe Maltese Falcon, (both by two of the first writer- directors) Suspicion, Meet John Doe.The High Sierras. All movies I have watched many times.

[@gatewayski1]

I might have enjoyed "How Green Was My Valley" in color. It seems dated, stagy and stale today.Howard Hawks certainly deserved an Oscar for directing, probably for "Sergeant York". How OrsonWelles did not win for his timeless masterpiece "Citizen Kane" is beyond me. John Ford was not worthyof 4 Oscars when you think Hawks and Welles, and Hitchcock never won.

[@theredbaronlives9889]

Back when Hollywood actually produced "stars" and the Academy Awards was a classy production with no in your face and obnoxious sjw politics injected into it.

[@mwilliams1330]

I never understood how so many people were duped into caring for an awards show, controlled (and voted by) by a very small minority of the entertainment profession. The 'Academy' keeps its membership rolls and numbers private, and yet more than a Billion people tune in to watch narcissists pat each other on the back. Bugs Bunny, that Oscar winning rabbit had a good term for this, "What a bunch of maroons".
