For a man who once shrugged "I don't try to guess what a million people will like - it's hard enough to know what I like", 10-time Oscar nominee John Huston made a slew of crowd-pleasers: The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, The African Queen, Key Largo, The Man Who Would Be King... A man's man who loved to drink, hunt, screw, box and gamble, he was also an ardent supporter of human rights and a painter. No wonder his multilayered movies reward repeated viewings.
Picture perfect: The Maltese Falcon. The stuff that dreams are made of.
