* SpiritedYoungLady: The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawksian_woman "Hawksian Woman"]] is effectively the Classical Hollywood take on this trope. The typical Howard Hawks heroine [[OneOfTheGuys hangs out with the boys]] and can [[SnarkToSnarkCombat go toe-to-to with the hero verbally]], and yet this "does not detract from her feminine qualities, such as seductiveness and softness."

Howard Hawks (1896-1977) was one of the most versatile directors of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood. Starting out in silent films as an assistant director and other production jobs, he soon moved up to director, and was one of Hollywood's top directors for the next several decades. Among the genres he handled successfully were gangster films, romantic comedies, screwball comedies, westerns, detective movies, and even musicals. Unlike other directors at the time, he wasn't tied to one particular studio. Also, though he worked with a number of well-regarded writers on his films (among them BenHecht and WilliamFaulkner), he was also known for changing the script as he was shooting it, with a number of examples of ThrowItIn in each of his films. He also was legendary for the number of tall tales he told about himself. Though he directed a number of hits throughout his career, he fell out of favor with critics in the 50's, but was VindicatedByHistory, thanks to the "auteur" critics like FrancoisTruffaut helped restore his reputation. Later generation of directors would cite him as a major director, second only to Creator/JohnFord, citing his versatility in moving from genres with the likes of Creator/JohnCarpenter, Creator/MartinScorsese, Creator/RobertAltman, Creator/QuentinTarantino, Creator/WesAnderson, Creator/GreggAraki and Creator/JimJarmusch testifying to his influence on their work.

Some tropes associated with Hawks are...
* AngstWhatAngst : Hawks' movies tend to flaunt this. ''Only Angels Have Wings'' opens with the death of a pilot named Joe, and immediately the pilots go around asking "Who's Joe?" and celebrate anyway though they mourn privately. For Hawks, death and tragedy are not the central features of life, but merely interruptions of real living.
* BlatantLies : His biographer noted that Hawks tended to boast about being a macho tough guy, who won fights and who was a big game hunter, none of which were remotely true. Most of the excitement in his life was dodging book-keepers trying to call his gambling debts.

* TrueCompanions : His films were celebrations of this.
* VitriolicBestBuds : His favorite kind of friendship.

Howard Hawks (1896-1977) was one of the most versatile directors of the GoldenAgeOfHollywood. Starting out in silent films as an assistant director and other production jobs, he soon moved up to director, and was one of Hollywood's top directors for the next several decades. Among the genres he handled successfully were gangster films, romantic comedies, screwball comedies, westerns, detective movies, and even musicals. Unlike other directors at the time, he wasn't tied to one particular studio. Also, though he worked with a number of well-regarded writers on his films (among them BenHecht and WilliamFaulkner), he was also known for changing the script as he was shooting it, with a number of examples of ThrowItIn in each of his films. He also was legendary for the number of tall tales he told about himself. Though he directed a number of hits throughout his career, he fell out of favor with critics in the 50's, but was VindicatedByHistory, thanks to the "auteur" critics like FrancoisTruffaut helped restore his reputation.
