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 \u003ci\u003eThe Informer\u003c\/i\u003e (1934), \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e (1940), \u003ci\u003eThe Quiet Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1952), \u003ci\u003eThe Long Gray Line \u003c\/i\u003e(1955), and \u003ci\u003eThe Wings of Eagles \u003c\/i\u003e(1957).

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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.
