I am in love with this book. The misfits: Story of a shoot. The behind the scenes images portray so much more than beautiful imagery from 9 legendary photographers - you get intimate insight to what became Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable’s last completed film, A glimpse of Montgomery’s darkness after his accident and alcoholism, John Huston’s dream to portray the American cowboy and how he found Gable to be just that, Arthur Miller hard at work on set to rewrite and adapt to help to create the perfect film, and in my eyes this film is just that☝️
You can but the book @amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Misfits-Story-Shoot-Serge-Toubiana/0714861073/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483399752&sr=1-8&keywords=The+misfits

I got an incredible book for Christmas, The Misfits - the making of the movie through the eyes of 9 amazing photographers including Ernst Haas, Elliot Erwin and Eve Arnold. The Misfits is one of those films I love to the point of obsession - the actors, the visuals, the story, the direction and of course - the behind the scenes photographs. I thought I had seen every single one but this book is filled With black and white photographs of everyone involved I had never seen before and I have scanned almost all of them to share with you guys. A great book to buy for anyone who loves Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Arthur Miller or like me - John Huston.

Annie(1982)

Director: John Huston

Two by John Huston. The African Queen is a rewatch. What’s remarkable is how full of life the movie is at the beginning, with the missionary work and the dreadful heat that is so communicated throughout. The boat journey is delightful. Huston really could get so much out of just two characters (great actors, of course) who talk and make plans. One of Huston’s very best, and justly counted among the great films.
.
The Unforgiven, from 1960, unfortunately is the opposite. It starts out okay, but we are soon enmeshed in a windswept soap opera of unbelievably oversaturated emotions and overwrought motives. It concerns two families about to intermarry - but Lancaster, the oldest brother, is reluctant to let Hepburn (his sister) marry. He drinks moonshine every time he makes a hard decision. There’s a mysterious horseman about who knows a family secret. Shenanigans happen, the horseman is hanged, uttering the terrible secret. It’s a dramatic moment, but next we see Lancaster and his family trying to drown out the Indian flutes playing across the fields by playing their piano outside. It’s one of the silliest scenes I’ve ever seen in a “serious” film. I could not help but laugh at this MST3K- worthy movie. I rejoiced to find out that Huston hated it.

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) & The Maltese Falcon (1943)
.
My re-watch of John Huston’s The Maltest Falcon (1941) was my fourth viewing, and each time I see the movie I have a different reaction. In 2002 I liked it, but it was all flash and style and made me feel smart. In 2010 all that had washed away and the pool was too shallow to drink from. In 2014 the film had improved significantly, and I delighted in its breathless filmmaking. Some of that stayed with me on this most recent outing, as I was struck by just how personal a film it must have been for director John Huston and his career, since he also wrote the script. This time it was fun to imagine Huston working behind the camera, like a Christopher Nolan, hard at work putting all the pieces together. Bogart skips around with a devlish smile on his face, playing the fiendish characters against each other in the journey to discover who killed his partner (the henchman play by Elisha Cook Jr was a surprisingly well written part for a “small” role). It’s fun, stylish, a classic for a reason, but nowhere close to the depths of greater classics like Casablanca and Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
.
The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) is one of the very greatest films ever made, coming from someone who thinks Citizen Kane is way up there. But Joan is much, much greater than Kane, delivering heightened spiritual emotions frame-to-frame. I defer further discussion of it to the essay inside the Criterion Collection DVD’s booklet. What’s to be said is better said there than here. The film’s recent-ish soundtrack (1995) is a modern oratorio called “Voices of Light” by Richard Einhorn. Its libretto is compiled expertly from a who’s-who of Medieval women mystics. The music is inspired, an absolute masterpiece which transforms and uplifts its subject even higher, and it works on its own as a Great Musical Work. This was my second viewing of the film.
