“Man’s Favorite Sport?” MCA. $59.95. The sport is fishing, but the question mark indicates something less outdoorsy. Howard Hawks’ final romantic comedy, released in 1964, mixes two favorite pastimes, fishing and sex, in its tale of a sports store “expert”--a stranger to rod and reel who’s plunged, against his will, into a championship tourney where he’s at the mercy of his own ineptitude and two wily females. This lead role was intended for Cary Grant; Rock Hudson is a softer, more lumbering substitute. But the other romantic lead is that wonderful, underrated farceuse , Paula Prentiss--and the movie, though lightly regarded by non-Hawks devotees, has snappy, wryly mechanical gags and typically crisp, lucid visuals. (Hawks himself felt “Sport?” was irreparably harmed by the studio before release, when it was cut by 40 minutes.) ***
