It doesn't fit in with my scheme of things." Howard Hawks, one of the most respected film veterans, speaking. He is now directing 'Man's Favorite Sport?" at Universal. Some producers believe presold properties such as best sellers or Broadway hits insure the success of a picture," Hawks declared. "I disagree. At least they don't provide sufficient insurance to warrant the astronomical prices asked for them.

And after you buy such a property you still must spend almost as much adapting it for the screen as it would cost to develop an original screenplay. I don't buy pre-sold properties. I much prefer to work closely with my writers in developing a good story line and a set of unusual but solid characters, as in There is no such thing as a new story, anyway just the same old basic plots with, occasionally, new twists to the development of certain situations. John Fenton Murray, Steve McNeil and I worked together for many weeks shaping 'Man's Favorite which is as broad a comedy as has been filmed in years. Yet it's believable.

Also, I feel that Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss will come through with exceptionally fine performances because they are the characters they're playing.
