White Hunter, Black Heart
Description:
It was a stellar cast gathered to make an epic masterpiece...a movie that could be made only by a mad genius. And John Wilson was a cinematic genius sent dangerously out of control by the madness of Africa itself. The human cost would be awesome, reflecting the tragic legacy for Africa of the white man's ignorance, arrogance...and passion.\nModeled on John Huston, and the making of The African Queen.\n"Its incidental pictures of African scenery and colonial society, both British and Belgian, are vividly those of a first-rate observer and reporter. So, too, is the London background of hotels and restaurants, and the financial shenanigans that precede and accompany the making of a motion picture."
- James Hilton, Book Week\n"Viertel is a strong writer; his characters are real people, his dialogue is flawless."
-The Oakland Press\n"WHITE HUNTER, BLACK HEART was published in 1953, when Viertel's emotions about working with (John) Huston on the rewrite of the script for The African Queen (1951) were still raw: Huston is its hero and its villain. The portrait of him is marvelously, scathingly full, and convincing."
-Pauline Kael,The New Yorker\nIf you like White Hunter, Black Heart, make sure to check out Peter Viertel's novel Bicycle on the Beach now available as a kindle ebook.
