John Marcellus Huston (August 5, 1906 – August 28, 1987) was an American film director, screenwriter and actor. He wrote the screenplays for most of the 37 feature films he directed, many of which are today considered classics: The Maltese Falcon (1941), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), Key Largo (1948), The Asphalt Jungle (1950), The African Queen (1951), Moulin Rouge (1952), The Misfits (1961), and The Man Who Would Be King (1975). During his 46-year career, Huston received 15 Oscar nominations, won twice, and directed both his father, Walter Huston, and daughter, Anjelica Huston, to Oscar wins in different films.
Huston was known to direct with the vision of an artist, having studied and worked as a fine art painter in Paris in his early years. He continued to explore the visual aspects of his films throughout his career: sketching each scene on paper beforehand, then carefully framing his characters during the shooting. While most directors rely on post-production editing to shape their final work, Huston instead created his films while they were being shot, making them both more economical and cerebral, with little editing needed.

This promotional short for 'the Night of the Iguana' (1964) focuses on how director John Huston puts his particular vision of a story on film. For this project, the cast and crew had to take a half-hour boat ride to get to the small village that Huston chose for location shooting. He studies the interaction between the actors to get the performances he wants. Several of the actors tell what it's like to be directed by Huston.

Director John Huston's "San Pietro" was one of the most dramatic and controversial documentary films to come out of World War II. Almost alone, it portrayed dead and wounded American soldiers and civilians on the battlefield (though always with reverence) and unflinchingly revealed the face of War. When Huston and his crew reached San Pietro, the battle for the town they had been assigned to shoot was effectively over, so several of the scenes were "recreated" using the same troops who had fought there. (The area was still close to the front line & subject to artillery fire.) The footage of dead and wounded is very real. The films release was delayed by the U S Army, who said it would be bad for morale and that it portrayed the controversial Italian Campaign in a bad light. (Commanding G...
The quality of the copy of this important film by John Huston currently on YouTube isn't very good, so I found a better one and tweaked it with digital image and sound processing. For the first time, Huston explored the diagnosis and treatment of what used to be called "battle fatigue" or "shell shock" among returning servicemen. This condition is now know as PTSD - post traumatic stress disorder. "Let There Be Light" wasn't released to the public for 30 years for obvious reasons, but it's a story that must be told because it's still highly relevant to our times.

John Huston filmed this documentary while serving with the U.S. Army Photographic Unit during World War II. Due to the fact that it dealt (unflinchingly) with what we now refer to as post-traumatic stress disorder, Army brass took one look at it and pulled it from circulation. It remained out of circulation for nearly thirty-five years until President Carter ordered that it be released.

Al seguito delle forze alleate, Huston realizza tre documentari di propaganda bellica, uno dei quali girato nelle Isole Aleutine, e uno (The Battle of San Pietro) girato in Italia. Questo film è talmente realistico e impressionante, che le autorità militari ne vietano la proiezione. Solo grazie all'interessamento del generale Marshall verrà poi concessa l'autorizzazione. Questo filmato è l’ultima intervista rilasciata da Huston prima della morte avvenuta nel 1987 nel quale vedremo la parte relativa alla Battaglia di San Pietro.

Cinematographer Jack Cardiff talks about shooting John Huston's 'The African Queen' in this full movie audio commentary track.
John Huston stars as an intergalactic warrior who joins a cosmic Christ figure in battle against a demonic 8-year-old girl, and her pet hawk, while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Multi-dimensional warfare, pre-adolescent profanity and brutal avian attacks combine to transport the viewer to a state unlike anything they've experienced... somewhere between Hell and the darkest reaches of outer space.
