    Making a guest feel so comfortable while being interviewed is, lamentably, a rare skill.
    Yost was the best.

    I saw this interview when it was originally aired on TVO Saturday night at the Movies. I was probably 12 years old. Loved that program Elwy !!!! I never made plans for Saturday night until I knew what was on that Saturday.

    its hilarious how totally into Huston the interviewer is. like he’s so cute and beaming that he’s getting to sit and talk with John Huston, its beyond adorable.

      Imagine any contemporary talk show hosts interviewing Huston. They wouldn't let him complete a sentence.

    Wonderful director, and what a voice. He comes full circle here, visiting Toronto- where his father (Walter) and great grandfather were born. And that voice ... clearly the inspiration for Daniel Day-Lewis and his Plainview character.

    I sometimes wonder if Huston’s incredibly biography, and his own downplaying of the director as auteur, have left him underapreciated by today’s critics.

    Bogey's performance in The Treasure of Sierra Madre was amazing. It never edged into to farce or melodrama or over acting. Just a slow descent it to paranoiac destruction, amazing. . In other interviews it is clearly apparent that Bogart was Huston's favorite actor to work with on a film. He tells the story of The Maltese Falcon original casting of George Raft as Sam Spade, then he grins broadly and says, "Raft couldn't do it and they cast Bogart..."

    also was Huston not good at interviews, or drunk? he takes so long to answer questions; and i’d chalk it up to his age but he lived another 17 years after this and was still working the entire time so i imagine it’s not his mind being slow. 🤷‍♀️

      Old people will actually have a lot on their mind- a breadth of ideas to choose to present. And just how to present them is why it can take so long for these guys to speak sometimes.
