John Huston: A New Perspective On Directing (Full Documentary) 

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.

Studying the works of John Huston is such a pleasure and a challenge. It is a library of movie-making and great story-telling.

Loved him as Noah, and as Director in the Dino DE Laurentis production of “The Bible “. In awe of the quality of everything necessary to create a 🎥 film.

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.

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?

Grew up with his voice work in the Hobbit, Return of the King, and The Black Cauldron, and only discovered today that he was a director! What a talented man.

This is beautiful documentary of an astounding man...thank you

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.

...Huston , great director, and great persona, one of my favorite, ...look for his autobiography, if anyone is interested...

John just ate life had a great big bite loved every bit of it,and he loved his children

A real unique character & love his movies. Thank you for this.

His character was creepy in Chinatown. 😯

My channel is full of this "Huston" style directing, lol, I kid. Very nice piece!!

Thank you for that.

I actually like The Visitor too

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.

No mention of the last film he did, in Ireland. A shirt film, the name of which I’ve forgotten ... but one of his very best. It’s a triumph.

Walter was in Rain, I believe.

Good doc…especially like the choice of clips 😅

Bogie is - great.

i knew a 90 something man, father to a 6 year old boy, his only that looked just like you. Nice.

Laid back, not lazy.

Lawgiver who knows about the future!

!

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?

So those Cigars he smoked, they were actually just large cigarettes with tobacco leaf coloured paper.

First Chaplin & Milestone & Walsh & Hawkes , then Ford & Houston & Corman , then Kubrick & Penn & Leone & Cimino , ....then De Palma , Coppola , Scorsese , Spielberg , & Cameron.... & then Eastwood , Tarantino , Finchter & Paul W Anderson !!!!

Key Largo.. was a Good Film..

No Key Largo .. means no doco.

I liked fat city yeh❤

Why no mention of Prizzi's Honor? Why leave that 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.

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!"

cigarettes killed him

This man says "i think"so many times..you know its waste of time to watch this John h.documetry There r mny othrs elsewhere

DIDNT LIKE HOUSTON, HE LIED ABOUT ERROL FLYNNS FIGHT WITH HIM, FLYNN KNOCKED HIM DOWN AND DIDNT KICK HIM WHEN HE WAS DOWN, HOUSTON SAID HE LAYED HIM OUT WITH ONE PUNCH, FLYNN WON THAT FIGHT, AND FLYNN SENT A STUNT MAN TO HOSPITAL, HE WAS A GREAT FIGHTER, HOUSTON LOST THAT FIGHT WITH ERROL.

the uglyest woman in the room is a unicorn to huston....
