Henry Hathaway

Yeah.

And also director Henry Hathaway has since admitted his impression of Campbell on set was that he was quote, so damn lazy,

which is crazy considering, I mean like considering how much the guy plays, you would just assume he's just a workhorse and he is a workhorse, but he probably got to filming and he's like, all right,

And probably at this point in his career, I mean, after he made his three biggest albums of all time, he's like, you guys, I'll do your fucking movie.

Yeah, and also I think he's really strong in that – sort of post-war period where noir went through the kind of documentary style thing.

You know, Henry Hathaway and others were involved in that as well, but coming out of cutting newsreels or whatever, he just took to that very naturally.

Yes.

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm not gonna go on and on about this, because most of our listeners won't know who he is.

But there was a great Western director called Henry Hathaway.

Mm-hmm.

He made some...

He made Trigger, he made Sensational, he made some phenomenal films, and he is f- seemingly forgotten.

Uh, uh, cast to, to shadows.

The twin shadows of John Ford and Howard Hawks have seemingly obliterated Henry Hathaway, and he was...

He shot John Wayne better than even Ford did.

Women's intuition is what contributes to Shirley's success.

Henry Hathaway, director of the 1934 movie Now and Forever, in which Shirley co-starred, observed, "...surprising mentality, inexhaustible energy, fine memory, but the key is her adult understanding." He may have missed the boat.

My intuition was like any kid's, as was my energy level.

In truth, he had someone trained in the fundamentals and ready to work hard.

Rather than a sort of shoot them up, cowboys and Indians type stuff like that.

Is it Henry Hathaway? Yeah.

I

think it is and he made it three times.

Today, we're doing a movie review of The Desert Fox, The Story of Rommel.

The Desert Fox, The Story of Rommel, directed by Henry Hathaway, is a biographical drama that delves into the life of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel during the latter stages of World War II.

Released in 1951, the film offers a portrayal of Rommel as a complex figure, caught between his duties as a military leader and his growing disillusionment with Adolf Hitler's regime.

The movie is based on the biography by Desmond Young, who also appears in the film as himself providing a unique narrative perspective.

Yeah, so speaking of John Ford, we're moving into the directing category.

Here we have The Informer, RKO Radio, John Ford; The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, Paramount, Henry Hathaway; and Mutiny on the Bounty, MGM, Frank Lloyd.

We not only watched all these movies, we've seen movies from all of these directors in previous years, but I am happy to say that the winner was John Ford for The Informer.

Now, Frank Lloyd has seen a, a win here before, at least a win for Cavalcade.
