Description
New York: The Film Library of the Museum of Modern Art. Near Fine. (c.1962). First Edition. Stapled wraps. [nice copy, minor external soiling only, old price sticker adhered to inside front cover]. (B&W photographs) Published in conjunction with the first major American retrospective of Hawks's films, this very scarce 38-page monograph -- primarily a filmography with excerpted comments from an interview with Hawks conducted by Bogdanovich -- was the first publication (in English) to indicate that the director might be taken seriously as a film artist. This must have seemed, to many, quite an outrageous notion, given that Hawks's then-current film was the superficially trivial HATARI! -- which, whatever its virtues, was hardly the sort of work that would encourage the critical world to take you seriously. This was the second of three ground- breaking critical monographs authored by Bogdanovich for MoMA retrospectives in the early 1960s, sandwiched between those devoted to Orson Welles (1961) and Alfred Hitchcock (1963). .
