They hit the ball right out of the park by casting the great John Huston

John Huston is just wonderful here. :)
It's too bad he didn't play Gandalf in LOTR '78 (although that actor wasn't bad either).
The character of Gandalf always gets to be played by great actors.
How did they decide to hire him out of all people, anyway?
