<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This book provides an intimate and affectionate view of one of Hollywood's most admired directors. The fifty-year career of John Ford (1895-1973) included six Academy Awards, four New York Film Critics' Awards, and some of our most memorable films, among them <i>The Informer</i> (1934), <i>The Grapes of Wrath</i> (1940), <i>The Quiet Man</i> (1952), <i>The Long Gray Line </i>(1955), and <i>The Wings of Eagles </i>(1957). In addition, the name John Ford was practically synonymous with the great Westerns that came out of Hollywood for many years-- <i>Stagecoach</i> (1939), <i>She Wore a Yellow Ribbon </i>(1949), <i>Rio Grande</i> (1950), <i>The Searchers </i>(1956), and <i>The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance</i> (1962), for example. After his death a European newspaper mourned ford as "the creator of the Western," although many of his finest films were far removed from that genre. <p/> Combining interviews with John Ford with his own reflections, director Peter Bogdanovich captures both the artist and the man in a highly readable, compact book that will please film lovers and Ford admirers alike. Over a hundred stills are included, along wit hthe most completed filmography yet compiled for John Ford.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"...a very useful interview book on Ford."-- "New York Times"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Bogdanovich</b> is the author of thirteen books, including <i>Who the Devil Made It</i>, <i>This Is Orson Welles, </i> and<i>The Cinema of Howard Hawks</i>.
