...fitfully. Raquel's iron will and her proven ability to hog the spotlight were put to their most severe test. For sheer incompatibility, the volatile cast of Myra is rivaled only by the Burton-Lyon-Gardner gallimaufry of Night of the Iguana. There is crustaceous Veteran Director John Huston portraying Uncle Buck Loner, the sagebrush sybarite. Huston, an inveterate cigar smoker, has been unhappy with a no-smoking clause that Mae West had written into her contract. There is the epicene Rex Reed, who eats peaches, scribbles notes for his book (about the making of Myra, naturally) and regularly breaks...
Sometimes the leisurely ambiance lulls a guest into an unexpected revelation. Raquel Welch insisted that the brain is "a very erogenous zone." Young Actress Anjelica Huston conceded that her father, John Huston, should never have cast her in A Walk with Love and Death. She found herself "no good, awful. There's so many young girls waiting for the opportunity, dying ... I shouldn't have been that selfish."

Perhaps it is the wind in the trees, but it surely sounds as if Heron, much...

Dale Wasserman set it down in words taken by Hans Koningsberger from his own novel, perhaps with a broadsword. Moshe Dayan's son traveled all the way from Israel to take part. These all have conspired together to produce this thing, and all must share equally in the blame. There is, truly, more than sufficient for each...
...started because the Marquis de Sade had a lousy home life. His uncle, the abbe (John Huston), gave him mighty whuppings in the stable. His mother-in-law (Lilli Palmer) fooled him into marrying her ugly daughter, then quickly began to make untoward advances of her own. Small wonder Sade went so quickly to seed, consorting with low women and doing mean things to them. "But it hurts," protests one of his lady friends. "Of course it hurts. That's what gives me pleasure," sneers Sade, just in case anyone in the audience is confused...
