Summary: This is a biography of one of Hollywood's most prolific and talented film-makers, a movie director-actor-writer who has always lived the part, John Huston. His most memorable films have celebrated men shaking their fists at destiny and going after a dream; others have been rousing tales of honor, high adventure, and mystery. Huston has lived his own life in much the same way: taking risks, operating on astounding creative instincts. John Huston is a remarkable story, an epic tale of a man whose own life has been as colorful and dramatic as any of his movies. Item #155286
