An adventure in obsession...
What a character John Huston was. A man of large gestures, with a large vision. A giant among pygmies. Also, an outspoken harsh vindictive man, a man with strong passions. Does Clint have sufficient wild danger in him to match up to the role? Maybe. The actress playing the Katharine Hepburn role does it well.
A few fantastic scenes: where he verbally destroys an anti-semitic society woman by inventing a parallel story about her; where he challenges and boxes a hotel manager for abusing his black staff; where he counters the accusation that it is a crime to kill an elephant with the admission that it is worse than that, it is a sin.
