Huston is such a colorful character that his life has inspired other stories and movies. A novel about the making of ''Film/TheAfricanQueen'' (written by screenwriter Peter Viertel) was eventually adapted by Creator/ClintEastwood as ''White Hunter, Black Heart'', where Eastwood plays John Wilson, a spoof of Huston's LargeHam womanizing [[TheDandy dandy]] personality.
