Great film footage from the Golden Age of Hollywood, my late parent's generation. I was born in 1948, love Walter Huston, great actor and my mother's favorite song was Walter Huston singing, the September song, 1938, which we played in our home many times! I also love it and still play it on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing this precious moment in time!💜
I heartily concur. One of the all time greats. And yes, a class act all the way ! His ashes are buried here in Fresno, Calif (next to his last wife, who grew up here).
I’m reading as of lately (started in May, 2022…here, it’s early June, ‘22) a biography called: “The Houstons “ by Lawrence Grobel. What an interesting life Walter (and, son John) led. Walter was so unique in character and voice…as was his son, John. So many memorable movies with those two voices. “They” don’t make them like that anymore.
I read that book too, a few years ago. Found it at a discount outlet. And yes, totally fascinting ! Three generations of wonderfully talented people : Walter, John & John's children, (Angelica, Tony, Daniel & Allegra).
@@enzomaidana5369 Yes and his son John Huston directed it. Walter was also a singer in his early years- he actually sang the 1938 hit "September Song"!
Indeed. His ashes were in storage for decades til his son John finally buried them next to Walter's widow, Nan Sunderland. John & his stepmother Nan were very close. Nan passed away in NYC in the 70s but is buried here in Fresno, Calif at a local cemetery. She grew up here before moving to New York to act, which is where she met Walter.
Intimate Interviews. I saw the Bela Lugosi one and it had me wondering if Dorothy West did anymore of these interviews with movie stars in the early 1930s. The Golden Age Of Hollywood where they told stories and performances were all that mattered. Going to the movies was pleasurable and enjoyable back in that era. The most dramatic of actors like Walter Huston offering a funny bone in what looked like a very awkward interview.
I came here because of the 1936 film "Dodsworth", which I think has Walter's greatest screen performance. He had originated the role earlier on the New York stage.

Absolutely LOVE Walter Houston! Great actor, always a class act and always interesting and fun to watch :)
You should watch the classic pre code film Rain(1932)- he co stars with Joan Crawford & the tension between them is dynamite.
@@dan5660 I've seen it a long time ago :)

That boy was a beast!!👌👌
he was Jack Nicholson before Jack Nicholson was Jack Nicholson
Thanks for the posting. He always struck me as reserved. Nice to see him doing this relaxing interview.
Indubitably.
I liked the line "that's the cemetery over there, that's where we bury the interviewers"

After reading his biography I watched this- "..I'd rather be cremated"(@ 3:15). He certainly was in 1950!
1950? Didn't he star in treasure of the Sierra madre?

I love Dorothy. She was beautiful.🥰
I love her pretty little outfit.
She was no Hope Emerson, but Ms West was indeed one lovely lady.
@@jubalcalif9100 Lucky for her she was no Hope Emerson

Well said and well put.
He is ,48 here looks much younger then this age
He's funny.
He's no Soupy Sales, but he did have even me laughing at times.
He seemed to have a great sense of humour.
I was thinking the same thing.
'The Country Girl' brought me here.
I came here because of the 1936 film "Dodsworth", which I think has Walter's greatest screen performance. He had originated the role earlier on the New York stage.
What became of her?
that was nice.
I enjoyed watching it very much. Walter Huston remains one of my favorite stars from Hollywood's Golden Age.
This seems staged; one of the Big Studios of old Hollywood marketing one of its great stars.
You reckon?
