La comédie chez Howard Hawks par Claude-Jean Philippe

Ciné club

A two-fisted adventure tale set in South America, ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS stars Cary Grant as the tough-talking head of an air freight service operating in the dangerous Andes Mountains. Jean Arthur co-stars as a vacationing showgirl competing with Rita Hayworth for Grant&#x27;s affections. A potent combination of humor, romance and action, the film was directed by Howard Hawks, the legendary director responsible for Red River, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, and the original Scarface.&nbsp;

Only Angels Have Wings

Mischa Auer

Edward Arnold

Academy Award&reg; winner James Stewart (1940 Best Actor, The Philadelphia Story and 1985 Honorary Oscar&reg;), Jean Arthur, Academy Award&reg; winner Lionel Barrymore (1931 Best Actor, A Free Soul) and Edward Arnold star in this classic screwball comedy. Based on the phenomenally successful Kaufman-Hart play, You Can&#x27;t Take It With You was directed by Frank Capra and won two Academy Awards&reg; (1938 Best Picture, Best Director) and garnered five more nominations. It was Capra&#x27;s third Oscar&reg; for directing. Arthur stars as Alice Sycamore, the stable family member of an offbeat clan of free spirits who falls for Stewart, the down-to-earth son of a snooty, wealthy family. Amidst a backdrop of confusion, the two very different families rediscover the simple joys of life.
