The Slim years were very rich. You may decide they were the best in the career of Howard Hawks. In which case doesn’t his wife Slim Hawks deserve some credit? We are talking about 1939 to 1946, which means: Only Angels Have Wings, His Girl Friday, Sergeant York, Ball of Fire, The Outlaw (he started it before Howard Hughes dropped him), Air Force,Corvette K-225 (which he produced), To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and Red River, which was shot in the autumn of 1946, though not released until 1948. Not a bad war.

I remember introducing Gable to William Faulkner. We were going hunting. They didn’t know each other, and I didn’t tell either one of them who the other was. So we were talking and somehow the conversation got around to writers, and Gable said, ‘Well, who do you think are the best writers in the world?’ and Faulkner said, ‘Willa Cather, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Thomas Mann—and myself.’ And Gable said, ‘Oh, do you write, Mr. Faulkner?’ And Bill said, ‘Yes. And what do you do, Mr. Gable?’
