    When the film says John Huston, one stands to pay respect.

    Very enjoyable. I had forgotten just how talented he was. Movies were art in those days, now it's all about special effects. Thank you.

      And you think Huston wouldn’t have used special effects if he could have? You can’t use that as your analogy!

      Special effects? Lol you dummy almost all movies use special effects.
      Special effects aren’t relegated to big action adventure movies. Something as small as taking a camera out digitally that was in a reflection. Is considered a special day for effect. Hell Christopher Nolan uses in camera special effects
      Quit trying so hard to be a cool art house nerd. It’s lame.

    Great to see Angela Allen here. But this documentary is bloody blinkered, with Zero Mention of The Asphalt Jungle; Reflections In A Golden Eye; The Life & Times of Judge Roy Bean, Fat City; Prizzi's Honor, & The Dead. What the hell?

    The Man Who Would Be King is very pertinent to today. Yes, it has all that, “man v nature,” stuff, and testing yourself to the limit things, etc. But its central theme is how con men come up with various stories on the hoof to suit any situation, just to get what they want, until one of them falls for his own legend and dooms them both. How many business moguls, now in jail, or politicians, now convicted, have we seen like that? That’s why it’s one of Huston’s greatest artistic achievements; because it speaks truth in fiction. A truth that is a warning and that resonates more strongly now than it did back then.

    It's a shame that no mention was made of "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison", a superb film. But then, this documentary would have to be many hours long to do full justice to the subject.

    What is so damn ODD here...they leave out his film; Reflections in a Golden Eye. They talk about Huston as if he was a Homophobe YET he directed a film written by a famous Gay man (Tennessee Williams) which featured a Repressed homosexual played by Brando. One of the strangest films ever. Why is it left out?

    It’s really infuriating to have to listen to this guy calling him “John Hooston” over and over and over again. Ugh! He knows perfectly well how to pronounce his name. It’s arrogant and insulting to deliberately and repeatedly mispronounce the man’s name.

    The first film I loved as a boy was Moby Dick. I remember when it would come on TV, they would call it, "John Huston's Moby Dick." I wondered who John Huston was since he wasn't in the movie. Not too much later I learned the role of a director and their job on movies, and years later I became one. Largely thanks to John Huston.

    Oh for gods sake. If you refuse to even pronounce the man's name correctly, you have no business making a documentary about someone. His name isn't "Hooston." It's pronounced Houston, like the city. LONG U. NOT "HOOSTON!"

      James Joyce's The Dead. Ironically, it wasn't filmed in Ireland, but in Hollywood. Huston was too ill to travel by 1986, so they built Dublin streets and houses in a studio.
