Howard Hawks is a genius, with so many characters in the play, so dense dialogue, breathless climax from beginning to end, he can grasp every rhythm, every actor's entry and exit, and every detail. It is in place, making people feel real, not artificial, and admire this kind of scene scheduling. Gary Grant and the female lead are super good, of course, the performance of other characters can also be called amazing. The screenwriter is surprisingly good. So many dialogues don’t make people feel horrible. They just feel appropriate. The transition of the plot is smooth, so that the audience has no discomfort. The ending is expected but it feels very warm.
