| 0:00.0 | Hi this Steve. You know almost every day on social media or through our Patreon page, |
| 0:05.6 | we hear from fans that are shocked that we haven't covered a great film, |
| 0:10.3 | important director or brilliant actor. In fact, the longer we do this show, |
| 0:15.1 | the more aware I am of how little we've actually covered. Now this week's film doesn't just feature |
| 0:21.4 | a director and two major stars we've never discussed, but arguably a whole genre. |
| 0:28.1 | With rapid-fire dialogue, crazy situations and love stories with far more conflict than romance, |
| 0:33.8 | screwball comedies like It Happened One Night bringing up baby and my man Godfrey were a staple |
| 0:39.8 | of the 30s and 40s, and director Howard Hawks was one of its most talented creators. |
| 0:45.7 | In his Go Friday, Howard Hawks cast one of the funniest leading men of this or any other era, |

| 1:09.4 | or stream his Go Friday along with every other movie we've ever reviewed. And if you happen to |
| 1:15.3 | support the show on patreon.com slash the cinephiles, right now you could be listening to us discuss |
| 1:22.3 | how excited we are to finally go back to the movie theaters now that the restrictions are being lifted. |
| 1:28.8 | So that's a discussion of going to the movies on Patreon and the 1940 Howard Hawks classic. |
| 1:34.8 | His Go Friday starring Carrie Grant, Rosalind Russell, and Ralph Bellamy, this Friday on The |
| 1:41.4 | Cinephiles. Hello and welcome once again to The Cinephiles, where each week we enter the world of |
| 1:56.0 | a great film we explore its themes, the history, the filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today. |
| 2:00.8 | My name is Steve Morris, I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California. |
| 2:04.8 | Hello everyone, my name is John Rook, I'm a writer, producer and host here in Los Angeles, California, |
| 2:11.2 | as well. So yeah, that's all I say. You know what I got? You know what's funny is like |
