The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic
westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this
single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our
understanding of Ford's film-making oeuvre by studying his
non-Western films through the lens of Ford's life and abiding
preoccupations. Ford's other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the
Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns
the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders
and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards' revisionist study both
provides new insights into familiar films such as The Fugitive
(1947); The Quiet Man (1952), Gideon's Way and The Informer (1935)
and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them Wee Willie Winkie
(1937) and the extraordinary The Long Voyage Home. (1940).
