The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford”s film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford”s life and abiding preoccupations. Ford”s other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards” revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as
The Fugitive (1947);
The Quiet Man (1952),
Gideon”s Way and
The Informer (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them
Wee Willie Winkie (1937) and the extraordinary
The Long Voyage Home. (1940).
