Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kurtti made this for a 2003 DVD release when physical media still mattered; streaming wiped it into obscurity until film Twitter resurrected it in 2019.
Huston's original travel journals from the 1947 shoot were believed lost until Evelyn Keyes found them in her late husband's storage unit—she reads from them here for the first time.
