Lighting Up with Hildy Johnson
In this 25-minute video essay, film scholar David Bordwell, co-author of "Film Art: An Introduction", conducts an analysis of Howard Hawks's "His Girl Friday" (1940), which he believes to be the apotheosis of classical Hollywood storytelling. Bordwell discusses the film's history and the status of Howard Hawks as an auteur before delving into a detailed analysis of various aspects of the film's narrative, dialogue, use of props, editing, and staging.
