Awww rats! After the lacluster performance of Clint Eastwood in his attempt to portray master director/character actor John Huston in "White hunter,Black Heart" I had always held out the hope than someone would've written one of those one man plays ( as in "Give 'em Hell ,Harry with James Whitmore as Harry Truman or the first breakthothrough one of " An Evening with Mark Twain" with Jal Holbrooke )portraying the incredibly colorful life of John Huston and the perfect ,and I mean *perfect* ,actor to have protrayed Huston's signature voice ,slight drawl , and physical presense would've now the "late" James Coburn. Coburn just had one of those great voices Damn ,what a performance "that" would've been. Truly a sorely missed "lost" oppurtunity Rest easy James.
