Searching for John Ford ReviewHaving just finished reading the "sample" of this book that Kindle so kindly and generously sends us on request, I can say that I couldn't stop. I certainly plan to order the entire book on Kindle in the very near future. In a few days, in fact. Although the book isn't cheap by any means, it is quite long and probably a thorough examination of the life of the famous director. I love movies and have many of my own John Ford movies so it is a treat for me to read the life and times of this eminent Irish American. A must for all lovers of biography and the cinema.Searching for John Ford Overview
John Ford's classic films--such as Stagecoach, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, The Quiet Man, and The Searchers--have earned him worldwide admiration as America's foremost filmmaker, a director whose rich visual imagination conjures up indelible, deeply moving images of our collective past.

Joseph McBride's Searching for John Ford, described as definitive by both the New York Times and the Irish Times, surpasses all other biographies of the filmmaker in its depth, originality, and insight. Encompassing and illuminating Ford's myriad complexities and contradictions, McBride traces the trajectory of Ford's life from his beginnings as "Bull" Feeney, the nearsighted, football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Portland, Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-honored career, as America's national mythmaker. Blending lively and penetrating analyses of Ford's films with an impeccably documented narrative of the historical and psychological contexts in which those films were created, McBride has at long last given John Ford the biography his stature demands.
