Henry Hathaway

विवरण

Henry Hathaway started directing in the early 1930s and though he made movies of all genres, he was particularly associated with Westerns. This allowed him to ride out the 1960s making pretty much the same kinds of movies with the same stars (Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum) that he had been working with for decades. But shortly after the massive success of Hathaway’s True Grit in 1969 – for which John Wayne won his only Oscar – the director felt he was being put out to pasture by a changing industry. His last film would be Hangup (also known as Super Dude) a work-for-hire that he claimed he took only as a favor to the producer, and which was dismissed at the time as a sop to the Blaxploitation trend - not least by Hathaway himself.(00:00) “Less Than Meets the Eye”(06:18) “Screaming Henry”(10:06) WWII and The House on 92nd Street(16:50) Kiss of Death (21:42) Legend of the Lost(29:36) How the West Was Won, Circus World, and The Sons of Katie Elder(40:27) True Grit, Airport, and Raid on Rommel(50:57) Shoot Out (54:58) Brut Productions, Hangup/Superdude, and the Last of Henry Hathaway
