One of the leading film directors of this century, John Huston created a legacy of classics - from his early films such as "The African Queen" and "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" to films such as "Prizzi's Honour" and "The Dead". The son of a noted stage and screen actor, Walter Huston, John's breakthrough came when he became recognized for his contributions to six screenplays for Warner Brothers, which included "Jezebel". He went on to make a stunning debut in "A Maltese Falcon", which he directed in 1941. This book includes all of Huston's films, with credits, casts and contemporary reviews, synopses and hundreds of pictures to illustrate the text.
