Man's Favourite Sport (1964 Howard Hawks)

Hawks proved he could still make a 30s style studio-bound screwball comedy in the 60s, with Paula Prentiss delightful as the same kind of destructive character as Hepburn's in Bringing Up Baby. With Rock Hudson, Maria Perschy ('Easy'), John McGiver, Charlene Holt ('Tex'), Roscoe Karns (His Girl Friday, Old Acquaintance), Norman Alden ('John Screaming Eagle').

Features of course the director's trademark scenes of people gathered together in a single shot.

How on earth they pulled off the bear on a motorbike I have no idea.

Great fun.
