While Hawks' actual role in the film's production has long been debated, ''The Thing'' exhibits his trademarked overlapping dialogue and assertive female characters who neither scream, faint or becomes hysterical at any point in the proceedings. All screaming, fainting and hysteria is supplied by the male cast - and with good reason. The script is a quick patter of wisecracks and one-liners that keep the plot moving at breakneck speeds.
