John Huston (1906-1987) directed 41 films, including The Red Badge of Courage, The African Queen, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Prizzi's honour, and acted in some twenty others. One of the most admired, colourful, and adventurous personalities of American movies, he has been the subject of many books and stories, only some of them true.
This book is alive with John Houston's presence: his boldness and daring, his candor and style, and the spontaneity with which he followed his dreams to their ultimate destination: the well-deserved acclaim of a world enchanted by his work.
