JOHN HUSTON
DIRECTED BY JOHN HUSTON (IMPRINT COLLECTION #481 - #483) - BLU-RAY
John Huston was a towering figure in Hollywood - a master storyteller and Academy Award-winning director whose career spanned decades, and defined classic cinema.
This special collection brings together three of his later directing efforts, packed with drama and remarkable performances.
Wise Blood (1979)
A young southerner wants to get on in the world and decides the quickest way is to start his own church so he becomes its only preacher.
Under the Volcano (1984)
During the Mexican Day of the Dead in 1939, former British consul Geoffrey Firmin's alcoholism and self-destructive behaviour is a source of perplexity and sadness to his idealistic half-brother and his ex-wife.
The Dead (1987)
January 6, 1904, on a snowy night in Dublin, guests arrive for a festive night at the Morkan house. Gabriel Conway, and his beautiful wife Gretta, plunges into the fun and festivities, but little does he dream that before the evening ends he will learn a secret that will change his life forever.
