So I was knocking around hulu tonight and stumbled across John Huston‘s 1956 film, Moby Dick (starring Gregory Peck). This got me curious as to whatever Huston films that might be sitting on hulu.

And that’s how I found 1977′s Tentacles. This film is a product of its times, clearly trying to capitalize upon the popularity of 1975′s Jaws (and apparently only a few months before Orca was released)-it was supposed to be a horror film. But appropriately enough, hulu has it listed as a comedy.

Huston does not direct this gem, but rather he acts in it, alongside other folks that leaves me asking “Was money that tight in the 1970s for these folks): Claude Akins (as a sheriff [pre-1979 BJ and the Bear no less]), Henry Fonda and Shelley Winters
