natural surroundings are beautifully juxtaposed, often in breathtaking
long shots. In this classic documentary, we take an in-depth look into
the extraordinary career and life of John Ford, with insights from James
Stewart, John Wayne, Henry Fonda and others who experienced the legend
of the greatest film director of the Old West.
