Product Description
Nobody captured the landscape and faces of the American people the way John Ford did, in films such as "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". He hid his sensitivity beneath a hard-drinking, exaggeratedly "Irish" exterior, but Joseph McBride's biography succeeds in penetrating Ford's habitual reticence and sheds light upon previously unknown aspects of his professional endeavours.
