Invaluable introduction and critical essays. Continuity script and cut scenes only, without revisions, alas — Hawks is celebrated for his on-the-spot changes. Kindle version passable but unattractive.

Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and Howard Hawks: 1930's screwball comedy doesn't get any better than this!
