In 1963, director Otto Preminger asked if he would portray a Boston prelate in The Cardinal (1963). Author Philip Kemp wrote that he (Huston) "virtually stole the picture."

Years later, after The Cardinal in Roman Polanski's Chinatown (1974), Huston acted as the film's master villain. Huston said he did not regard himself very highly as an actor.

Walter Huston, John Huston's father, also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in this film, the first father-son win. The film was also nominated for the Best Picture award; but it lost to Laurence Olivier's film adaptation of Hamlet.
