John Huston and the Dubliners (1988): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1988, John Huston and the Dubliners is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Lilyan Sievernich, running about 60 minutes.

What it’s about. John Huston and the Dubliners is a valentine to the late director and a relatively standard production film about his making of The Dead. Much time is devoted to the actors' understandably admiring comments about Mr. Huston, and to the disposition of the prop department's fake snow. The film has the potential to seem ordinary, but it becomes touched with magic whenever the director makes his presence felt. Mr. Huston displays his characteristic gallantry and his keen attention to seemingly unimportant touches ("Don't worry about what you say, just keep talking," he tells one actor, and gives precise instructions for reading the line "Would you please pass the celery?"). He describes The Dead as "lacework," and this film makes the aptness of that description very clear.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, John Huston and the Dubliners has been warmly received by audiences.
