Hack? Once in a while. Think of "Across the Pacific".Whore? Well, what Hollywood director hasn't been? Sam Peckinpah used to boast that he was just a good whore who'd been kicked around (although as Pauline Kael points out, Sam wasn't, he would take routine jobs and try to transform them into art and damned if he wasn't succeessful at least most of the time).
Artist? Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Beat the Devil, Prizzi's Honor, The Dead and probably half a dozen more. I have only seen "A Walk with Love and Death" once, on the CBS Late Night at the Movies back in the mid-70s, and I still remember it with great affection.
Huston's weakest beats 98% of most people's best.
