When Harry Carey, Sr., died in 1947, director John Ford cast
Carey's twenty-six-year-old son, Harry, Jr., in the role of The
Abilene Kid in 3 Godfathers. Ford and the elder Carey had filmed an
earlier version of the story, and Ford dedicated the Technicolor
remake to his memory. Company of Heroes is the story of the making
of that film, as well as the eight subsequent Ford classics. In it,
Harry Carey, Jr., casts a remarkably observant eye on the process
of filming Westerns by one of the true masters of the form. From
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Wagonmaster to The Searchers and
Cheyenne Autumn, he shows the care, tedium, challenge, and
exhilaration of movie-making at its highest level. Carey's
portrayal of John Ford at work is the most intimate ever written.
He also gives us insightful and original portraits of the men and
women who were part of Ford's vision of America: John Wayne,
Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara, Ward Bond, Victor
McLaglen, and Ben Johnson. Funny, insightful, and brutally honest,
Company of Heroes is a rip-roaring good read that presents the
remarkable life story of Harry Carey, Jr., and his many fine
performances.
John Ford directs this US Western starring James Stewart as a
marshal of a small town in the 1880s. Marshal Guthrie McCabe
(Stewart) doesn't do much to earn his badge preferring to take
money for illicit dealings. That changes when he is persuaded by
First Lt. Jim Gary (Richard Widmark) to rescue a group of white
people who were kidnapped by the Comanche Indians. However, when
they do finally rescue two of the prisoners and bring them back to
the town it seems they are less than welcome.
