Only Angels Have Wings
Calling Baranca! Calling Baranca! Cary Grant followed up his successful role in Gunga Din with another signature performance, his edgiest to date, in one of the finest entries in the magical movie year of 1939. It was the second of five films he would make with director Howard Hawks. Famous as the supposed origin of the oft-quoted Cary Grant impersonation line “Judy, Judy, Judy”, one of the best-known lines never actually spoken in a movie.

Allan Arkush and Howard Hawks in one video? Genius.
Yikes! Even by Hawks’ lenient standards this is a pretty silly movie, full of eye messed-up macho posing, messed-up sexual stand-offs and the director’s occupation preoccupation (the job, any job, is the most important thing!) And, yes, if you’re in the mood, a lot of fun.
