saw 1928’s A Girl in Every Port at the Museum of the Moving Image, as a part of their mammoth Complete Howard Hawks series, making it only the fourth Louise Brooks film I’ve seen on the big screen, and I must admit, it’s my least favorite of the four (the others being Pandora’s Box, It’s The Old Army Game, and Beggars of Life).
Billed as a comedy, the Hawks film was far from funny, as two sailors (Victor McLaglen & Robert Armstrong) battle each other over ladies ashore, but in the end realize that no woman (including lovely circus performer Louise) is worth getting between their tight ‘friendship’. I mean, how is anyone to believe that another man is worth throwing Lulu overboard for? We’d throw twenty zillion men overboard just to spend 4 minutes with Ms Brooks, so we can pet her hair
