Sobre El Autor

The son of Walter Huston, the well-known movie actor, John Huston directed numerous Hollywood films, including such classics as The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), for which he won an Oscar as best director, and The Asphalt Jungle (1950). He wrote the screenplays for many of them, including mostrar más the quintessential hard-boiled detective movie The Maltese Falcon (1941), which was also his directorial debut. Huston's protagonists are often either independent professionals whose tough exteriors hide a dedication to principle, like the detective in The Maltese Falcon, or losers whose obsession with a doomed quest leads to their destruction, like the three gold-seekers in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. But, in his 46-year career, he would try his hand at almost everything, from the grand comedy of The African Queen (1952) to the shaggy dog tale Beat the Devil (1954), the offbeat western The Misfits (1961), the rather bloated epic The Bible (1966), and the medieval allegory, A Walk with Love and Death (1970). As he aged, his films seemed to get deeper and better, starting with The Man Who Would Be King (1975) and continuing with Wise Blood (1979) and Prizzi's Honor (1985). His final work, The Dead (1987), is an exquisite film adaptation of the short story by James Joyce. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

El halcón maltés por John Huston

En el siglo XVI, los Caballeros de la Orden de Malta regalaron a Carlos I de España y V de Alemania la estatuilla de un halcón de oro macizo con incrustaciones de piedras preciosas. Era una muestra de gratitud por ciertas prerrogativas que el monarca les había concedido. Sin embargo, la joya no llegó nunca a manos del Emperador, ya que la galera que la trasportaba fue asaltada por unos piratas. Cuatrocientos años después, el detective privado Sam Spade y su socio Archer aceptan el encargo de una joven que quiere encontrar a su hermana, que ha desaparecido con un hombre sin escrúpulos.
