Directed By John Ford

Profiling of director John Ford by director Peter Bogdanovich, originally released in 1971, re-edited and expanded in 2006. Original Orson Welles narration and the interviews with Ford, John Wayne, James Stewart and Henry Fonda have been kept intact, but this is a more personal version. This updated version is much richer and contains an enormous amount of information that was not included in the original. Bogdanovich’s interviewed himself and speaks about Ford sense of spirituality, his emphasis on family in his films and his legendary relationship with Katherine Hepburn.The whole new version is warmer as has an emotional thread that takes you along, as opposed to a chronological timeline.
