Product Description

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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Searching for John Ford: a Life, 15 Jun 2003
By A Customer
Brillant coverage of the enigmatic director's life. McBride excels in his account of Ford's life,he pull no punches in his treatment of Ford, yet at the same time gives credit where it's due sometimes to the point of hero worship.
I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Ford, or any aspect of cinema's history.
