John Huston's life that Eastwood fell in love with

John Huston. He is a film director known for films such as `` The Maltese Falcon '' (1941), ` `Key Largo '' (1948), and `` Moby Dick '' (1956), and won the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for `` Golden '' (1948). In his later years, he was one of the great Hollywood legends, working as an actor in films such as Roman Polanski's ` `Chinatown '' (1974), which left a strong impression.

It is also well known that John Huston was a wild man who was free-spirited. He was married and divorced five times, went broke every day to a casino in Reno, and fought bone-breakingly for an hour with actor Errol Flynn (Houston is a former boxer). is!). The life of a man who was described by movie producer George Stevens Jr. as having "lived his life to the fullest" is filled with so many exciting episodes that it could have been featured on "The World's Shocking News."

The ultimate example is the episode from `` The African Queen '' (51). Even though it was a blockbuster American-British co-production starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, John Huston ignored the filming and became obsessed with elephant hunting! The scene was chaotic (as it should be), and Katharine Hepburn later published a book called `` The African Queen and I, '' in which she harshly criticized John Huston's behavior at the time.

In 1953, screenwriter Peter Viertel, who accompanied the film to the location of the Inferno, published a novel based on the scene at the time. Approximately 40 years later, ``White Hunter Black Heart'' (1990) was made into a film by Clint Eastwood, a professed fan of John Huston.
