The American West Of John Ford (PAL)
John Ford was among the most durable creative directors of the American cinema, with some 50 years of continual high quality work to his credit, all of it stamped with his unmistakeable signature. Ford’s films, particularly Westerns, express a deep aesthetic sensibility for the American past and the spirit of the frontier. Ford was a folk artist, a master storyteller, and a poet of the moving image. His compositions have a classic strength in which masses of people and their 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.
