I've read any number of your articles on film, ms. smith. I especially liked your pieces on Joan Blondell for Chiseler. But this is your masterpiece. I think even the great Robin Wood would be an admirer. You catch something so obvious about what makes Hawks great and present it so clearly and incisively. This is quite a performance on your part. Bravo!
