ABOUT THE FILMS RED RIVER, 1948, Park Circus, 133 min, USA, Dir: Howard Hawks. Cattle baron John Wayne and foster son Montgomery Clift (in his first film) take ’em to Missouri but fall into conflict along the way in director Howard Hawks’ seminal Western classic, in which the director commands the epic as well as the intimate. With Joanne Dru, Walter Brennan, Coleen Gray, and music by the great Dimitri Tiomkin. FORMAT: DCP ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS, 1939, Park Circus, 121 min, USA, Dir: Howard Hawks. Somewhere on the coast of South America there’s a ramshackle, fog-bound port and a landing strip from where mail pilots risk their lives over mountain passes to win a lucrative delivery contract. Into the life of an ace pilot and despatcher arrive two women: one a sassy nightclub pianist, the other his ex-lover. This is one of Hawks’s most enjoyable explorations of his favorite themes: the connections between strong-willed women and stoical men, and the love and loyalty between men. FORMAT: DCP
