Walter Huston: Humphrey Bogart
built 276 days ago
Huston made three documentaries for the United States Army during World War II, for which he was awarded the Legion of Merit and was promoted to the position of major. Huston's work with Humphrey Bogart—who played the leading role in The Maltese Falcon—... produced such film classics as Key Largo (1948) and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948). For his performance in the latter, Huston's father won the Academy Award for best supporting actor. Bogart himself won the Academy Award for best actor for his work under Huston's direction in The African Queen (1951). Huston also successfully transferred to the screen works by such respected American writers as Stephen Crane (The Red Badge of Courage, 1951), Arthur Miller (The Misfits, 1961), Tennessee Williams (The Night of the Iguana, 1964), Flannery O'Connor (Wise Blood, 1979), and by the British writer Malcolm Lowry (Under the Volcano, 1984). His last completed films were Prizzi's Honor (1985), in which his daughter Angelica Huston won an Academy Award for best supporting actress, and The Dead (1987), which was based on a short story by the Irish writer James Joyce, adapted for the screen by Huston's son Tony, and which also starred his daughter Angelica.

After the play closed, Huston went back to Warner Brothers and received his second Academy Award nomination for the screenplay for Sergeant York. He ... collaborated with W.R. Burnett on the screenplay of Burnett's novel, High Sierra. The film was the turning point in the careers of Huston and actor Humphrey Bogart, who was the fifth choice to play the role of Roy Earle, the film's protagonist. The success of High Sierra convinced Warner Brothers to allow Huston to direct his first film, The Maltese Falcon.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) reunited Huston and Humphrey Bogart and was filmed on location in Mexico. Huston won Academy Awards for screenwriting and directing, and his father won an Oscar as best supporting actor. Key Largo (1948), with Bogart and Bacall, soon followed. By 1950, Huston had earned a reputation as one of the country's best directors, and The African Queen (1952) filmed in the Belgian Congo, featured two of the finest performances of Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. Irish-made Moby Dick (1956) displayed Huston's range of talents as a director, and met with critical acclaim.
