It is no exaggeration to say that John Ford is one of the greatest filmakers in the relatively short history of this artform. A tangible influence on many directors, in a career that spanned both the silent film era and the "talkies", Ford made 140 films.
A chronicler of American history and the ordinary American, Ford is one of the great storytellers. His images remain imprinted in the mind long after the film has ended. Whether it be the panoramas of monument valley or John Wayne's isolation and loneliness at the threshold of the family home at the end of "The Searchers", Ford'svision remains unsurpassed by any American Director.
