Eastwood crafts a semi-comic high adventure from a fictionalized account of larger-than-life director John Huston, whose work on a film shooting in Africa is compromised by his obsession with hunting and killing an elephant. “In a daring departure from his usual roles, Eastwood doesn't so much impersonate Huston as offer a commentary on him and on macho bluster in general. Thanks to the beautifully structured script by Viertel, Bridges, and Kennedy—which also has a lot of interesting things to say about colonialism and Hollywood, both separately and in conjunction with one another—the film is a devastating portrait of self-deceiving obsession.”—Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader.
