John Ford (Paperback)

Explores the creativity, excitement, importance, and influence of John Ford, director of nearly 150 movies and in the film industry over 50 years.

One of the greatest and most influential of Hollywood's film-makers, John Ford was crucial in developing, and extending Hollywood's traditions. Stylistically, Ford was instrumental in experimenting with new camera techniques, atmospheric lighting and diverse narrative devices. Thematically, long before it became conventional wisdom, Ford was exploring issues such as gender, race, the treatment of ethnic minorities and social outcasts, the nature of history and the relationship of myth and reality. Popular film would be different had John Ford not been a director and Brian Spittles illustrates the excitement, importance, influence, creativity, deviousness and complexity of the man and his films.
