Why he might be annoying:

    In a memoir, he wrote he initially vetoed plans to cast John Huston's daughter Anjelica as a leading lady opposite John Hurt for the film 'Sinful Davey.'
    He was worried that Anjelica, who had little film experience at the time, would have trouble doing a Scottish accent.
    He also thought that she looked more Italian than Scottish.
    'Sinful Davey' was such a commercial disaster, that he and John Huston never talked to each again.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has a prolific list of films that was produced under his belt.
    Three films he produced won the Oscar for Best Picture.
    He was decorated by the Republic of France with its Order of Arts and Letters in 1961.
    He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, University of Wisconsin at Madison.
