Early career as writer
Huston wrote Frankie and Johnny, based on the ballad of the same name, during his stay in Mexico. He discovered that writing would be a lucrative career after selling it quickly, and he concentrated on it. When H. L. Mencken, editor of the well-known magazine American Mercury, purchased two of his books, "Fool" and "Figures of Combat Men," his self-confidence was raised. Huston's stories and feature articles were published in Esquire, Theatre Arts, and The New York Times during the previous years. He also worked on the New York Graphic for a short time. In 1931, when he was 25, he returned to Los Angeles in the hopes of writing for the burgeoning film industry. The silent films had given way to "talkies," and writers were in demand. His father had worked in film before and had already achieved success in a number of television sets.
Huston was offered a script editing gig with Samuel Goldwyn Productions, but after six months of no assignments, he left to work for Universal Studios, where his father was a character. He started working in the script department and began writing dialogue for a number of films in 1932, including Murders in the Rue Morgue, A House Divided, and Law and Order. Walter Huston, Walter Huston, appeared on both sets. William Wyler, who gave Huston his first "inside view" of the filmmaking process at all stages of development, directed a House Divided. Wyler and Huston were close friends and collaborators on a number of major films.
During his first years as a writer in Hollywood, Huston renounced himself as a "lusty, hard-drinking libertine." Huston characterized those years as a "slew of misadventures and disappointments." In 1933, he was in a romantic union with actress Zita Johann. Johann was killed by a parked car as a passenger, knocking Johann through the glass windshield. Huston was charged with head injury and driving while inebriated. When actor Tosca Roulien's wife, actor Raul Roulien, was killed while driving inebriated, his brief stint as a Hollywood writer ended abruptly. Clark Gable was suspected of the assault and run, according to rumors, but MGM general manager Eddie Mannix paid Huston to shoulder the blame. However, it's only a rumor because Gable was on location filming a film, but the incident left him "traumatized." He moved to London and Paris as a "drifter."
By 1937, the 31-year-old Huston was back to Hollywood, intent on being a "serious writer." He married Lesley Black again. He started as a scriptwriter at Warner Brothers Studio, and he began writing his own scripts. He co-wrote scripts for major films such as Jezebel, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, Juarez, Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet, and Sergeant York (1941). Both Ehrlich and Sergeant York were nominated for Academy Awards for his screenplays. Sergeant York, which was directed by Howard Hawks, has "gone down" as one of Howard Hawks' best pictures, according to Huston, and Gary Cooper did a good job playing the teenage mountaineer.": 77
Huston was regarded and respected as a screenwriter. Warners persuaded him to direct under the condition that his next script be a hit.
Huston wrote:
Raoul Walsh directed High Sierra (1941), his next script. Huston's film became a hit. Humphrey Bogart's debut as a gunman on the run made him a star in his first major role. Warners stuck to their side of the bargain and gave Huston his pick of subject.
