Some actors from that era would not be a fit for today's films, but Huston could be just as successful now as he was then. And, darnit, he is SO underrated, and virtually unknown these days.<br /><br />Thank you for joining the blogathon, Rich. I am so pleased to see Walter Huston joining our party. ;)<br /><br />Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-30996406864527386612018-02-12T18:18:13.289-05:002018-02-12T18:18:13.289-05:00Pardon the two cents from someone who has seen The...Pardon the two cents from someone who has seen The Maltese Falcon more times than she can count. If this was a Jeopardy! question, I'd be very quick on the buzzer and bet everthing. Huston plays Captain Jacobi of the Paloma, who is delivering the falcon to Brigid. He is shot by Wilmer and dies at Spade's office with the package.<br /><br />Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-56089417167617085662018-02-12T12:49:54.413-05:002018-02-12T12:49:54.413-05:00Apparently he had a bit part in FALCON that went u...Apparently he had a bit part in FALCON that went uncredited.

Now I wonder how it would have been if he was the lead in The Maltese Falcon - strange, but I think he'd be effective in the role.<br />Cheers!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-31339623160019401322018-02-12T12:40:22.689-05:002018-02-12T12:40:22.689-05:00I'm sorry it came in so late.

Well done. <br /><br />Huston played a fictional president in Gabriel Over the White House and the title character in the 1930 movie, Abraham Lincoln. It's like I always say, Canadians make the best Americans. <br /><br />Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
