Although I've admired so many of John Ford's films I found his personality and actions quite unlike what I expected. truth is that Mr. Ford was not a very nice man. But again - his films are a brilliant legacy.
Scott Eyman has written an outstanding book on John Ford! Fordwas the second generation son of an Irish bartender from Portland Maine who followed his brother Frank to Hollywood.In over 130 films from such silent classics as Iron Horse tohis four Oscars for best director: The Informer; How Green Was MyValley; the Grapes of Wrath and The Quiet Man Ford chroniclesthe life of ordinary people living in extraordinary circumstances. Ford made Westerns better than anyone as witness his classiccavalry trilogy: Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon; Rio Grande and the peerless The Searchers. John Ford was a bristling porcupine guy who could dish out insults, reduce strong actors to tears and cover his sensitive,melancholic, brooding intellectual Irish soul with a veneer oftoughness and macho maleness. Ford was a complex man isolated and in conflict with famly who made great films for over 50 years in the Hollywood jungle.He was an admiral who loved the military serving with distinction in World War II. You may not like Ford after reading this fine book but you will be in awe of one of Hollywood's giants. Eyman gives a sketch of each of Ford's top films and charts the choppy waters of his long marriage to wife Mary and the difficult relationship he had with his daugher and son. John Ford will always ride tall in the saddle of Film Historyas we travel with him to Monument Valley, meet such Ford starsas John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Maureen O'Hara and the other excellent actors in the Ford acting troupe. Anyone claiming to be knowledgable about film who does not know about John Ford (1894-1973 should read this fine biograhy.Readers may also wish to peruse Joseph McBride's lengthy biograpy of Ford "In Search of John Ford." Both books are welldone.
For whatever reason, I've read a couple hundred books or so about the history of Hollywood. One filmmaker mesmerized me more than any other, and that was John Ford. For more than 50 years I have returned, again and again, to what I consider his 15 or 20 best films and been moved by them, moved in ways that I could never fully explain to myself. I was helped by the late film critic Andrew Sarris, who beautifully captured Ford, but only in brief. But Scott Eyman has done the seemingly impossible job; he has, much more than everyone else who has tried to explain Ford, and his films, deeply, richly and fully illuminated this strange man who is America's greatest film director. It's long (588 pages in hardback), but fascinating on every page, since he reveals Ford to us by describing the man's personal and professional life as he lived it. Walter Hill has said of Ford "He is our Dickens." But he might perhaps better have called him our Yeats, not just because his Irish soul is in his films, but because he is our greatest cinematic poet, and just as Yeats was Ireland's greatest historian, so Ford is our best historian.
I have read a number of the available books about John Ford. While this book doesn't convey a lot of the warmth that Harry Carey's personal treatment does, it is perhaps the best attempt to sum up what made John Ford one of Hollywood's greatest directors. It is clear the author has made an intensive study of Ford's work, and even more clear that he admires it. This book largely doesn't try to judge Ford, just to explain him. For that, we owe Eyman a great degree of gratitude. Too many other authors have, confronted with the genius of Ford's direction, tried to discount it because of the cracks in his personal approach to life and actors, or possibly because of personal jealousy. You must judge Ford the director on his work, and his time, not on our opinions of what he could have done better in his personal life, or according to our "politically correct" views of what he should have done, and this book does an excellent job on judging Ford by the standards of his time, and his life. This is a masterful attempt at explaining Hollywood's master director.
Great stories of a person who directed lots of movies in the 40's and 50's, and those who acted in them. Movies were just better then!!!
