About This Item
Garden City, N. Y. : Doubleday, 1978. First Edition. Hardcover. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 280 pages; Description: vi, 280 p., 12 leaves of plates : ill. ; 22 cm. Includes index. Bibliography: p. 258-265. Filmography: p. 266-267. Subjects: Huston, John (1906-1987) --Motion picture producers and directors --United States --Biography. Summary: This is a biography of one of Hollywood's most prolific and talented film-makers, a movie director-actor-writer who has always lived the part, John Huston. His most memorable films have celebrated men shaking their fists at destiny and going after a dream; others have been rousing tales of honor, high adventure, and mystery. Huston has lived his own life in much the same way: taking risks, operating on astounding creative instincts. John Huston is a remarkable story, an epic tale of a man whose own life has been as colorful and dramatic as any of his movies.
