John Huston:
Just a few thoughts on John Huston.
I wanted to write a piece on John Huston and publish it on August 28, the anniversary date of his passing, but circumstance and a lack of time made that impossible.
The first time I saw John Huston was in 1966 as Noah in “The Bible: In the Beginning…” At the time I was only 11 years old and in the sixth grade. Of course I didn’t know it was John Huston until I was older. To me, the man on the screen was Noah.
When I ran across his name, it was while I was looking up information on Claude Akins. I saw that he’d been in the movie “Battle for the Planet of the Apes”. I didn’t know that but then I saw John Huston was also in the movie as The Lawgiver. I’m not sure whether or not I saw that movie, but I guess now I’ll have to get hold of it to make sure.
Remembering John Huston. Distinctive voice and a man who wore many hats.
. . . And so, I leave you with this . . .

“Critics have never been able to discover a unifying theme in my films. For that matter, neither have I.”

“I don’t try to guess what a million people will like. It’s hard enough to know what I like.”
