The Private Taste for Paula Prentiss

"I think that Paula Prentiss is good. She ought to be a big comedy star. I don't know what's the matter." -Howard Hawks


















" I rececently watched for the second time Howard Hawks' Man's Favorite Sport?, a film that was universally ridiculed when it appeared in 1964 and I myself hadn't much liked. This time I was delighted and deeply moved by the grace and humor with which the story is told, and moved by the reverberations of a whole substratum of meaning, of sexual antagonism, desire and despair." -Molly Haskell, 1971
