White Hunter, Black Heart

This is a real oddity that, unsurprisingly, fell flat at the box-office despite Clint Eastwood starring in it and directing, but has remained a cult favourite of many filmgoers who saw John Huston's film The African Queen.

White Hunter, Black Heart, based on Peter Viertel's roman à clef, is the story of events behind the making of that Bogart-Hepburn jungle drama.

Eastwood plays director John Huston and does so brilliantly. He shows the man's generous love of life (and women) but also his mean streak that caused great grief to many a person who crossed him.

Huston sets out for Africa to make The African Queen but deviates into a killing spree with African elephants as his target.

Art betrayed is the theme: not a pretty story, but a gripping one.
