John Huston: Courage and Art
The director of such films as The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The African Queen, John Huston stands alongside Hitchcock, Kubrick and Scorsese as one of the most influential filmmakers in history. But, amazingly, that was only a small part of his life. Huston was also a painter, boxer, bullfighter, poet, soldier and adventurer who had five wives and spent much of his life in Mexico and Ireland.
In John Huston, acclaimed biographer Jeffrey Meyers gives us a dazzling portrait of the man that covers his films, his relationships and his many adventures. Featuring rare family photographs, this is the definitive biography of the man who lived one of the most vibrant and eventful lives in Hollywood history.
