Huston deserves more respect

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2003)

John Huston deserves a whole hell of a lot more credit than he gets. He consistently made great films that were not just technically proficient, but always had great acting, strong stories, and wonderful direction. He truly is one of the forgotten masters who deserves to have his work studied with the likes of Hitchcock, Wilder, and Wells. This movie is no exception. Cain and Connery are wonderful as always, and the story of chance and luck is fun to watch unfold. If you haven't seen this, or any other Huston film, you really should.
