What does one do, when their first film is so good, that it's still being discussed and viewed seriously seventy some-odd years later?

When your screenplays are turned into superb films directed by others?

You keep going.

Between acting -- Noah Cross in Chinatown, to directing -- Prizzi's Honor, Under the Volcano...

John Huston was a force to be reckoned with.

His 1972, Fat City, made just before The Life and Times Judge Roy Bean, a film that beautifully stands the test of time.

With Stacey Keach, Jeff Bridges, Susan Tyrrell and Candy Clark, in the leads, this is a gritty film getting into the lives of low-end boxers.

Not a winner, when it first arrived, it's worth your time, as it's pure Huston.

Not a bad thing.

The Twilight Time release is superb.  Color, densities...

I need not go there.  It's a Columbia Picture.
