Walter Huston: Directors
built 655 days ago
As Patrick McGillgan said in his introduction to the screenplay, "Nobody handled crowd scenes better than Capra, and Walter Huston was not the first or the last of his leading men who the director guided to a tour-de-force performance. Not often revived, American Madness was important and admired in its time. It was the first of the Capra-Riskin rabble rousers, the first of their collaborations to venture into political issues and depict a world where 'populist heroes right social wrongs, demonstrating that folksy common sense and immediate action are the only possible cures for an American society groping its way out of the Depression.'" (quoting Sam Frank).

The variety of Huston's directorial output never abated. In the 1950s he directed such films as Moby Dick (1956) and the war movie, Heaven Knows Mr. Allison (1957). Films he directed in the 1960s included The Misfits (1961), The List of Adrian Messenger (1963), The Night of the Iguana (1964), The Bible (1966), and Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967). Among Huston's films from the 1970s were The Kremlin Letter (1970), The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972), and The Man Who Would Be King (1975). Also during that decade Huston managed to balance his directing responsibilities with numerous acting roles. Though some of his appearances were in his own films, his best-known role was playing the manipulative Noah Cross in Chinatown, directed by Roman Polanski.

Virtually every element – personal and professional – receives good scrutiny, and though the documentary clearly respects and admires Huston, it never feels like a hagiography; the director’s flaws and foibles receive full airing. It’s an entertaining and illuminating program.
