Synopsis
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., 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.

- b***l (460)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received double discs of the Dubliner's live 40th reunion performance on DVD format, and am very pleased with my purchase. The discs were spotless and in new condition. The seller accepted my offer on an already reasonable asking price. Preparing for shipment seemed slow, but the discs were in paper packets and placed in an envelope as described, without USPS tracking. Upon arrival, the appearance was promising and this purchase proved to be a quality product that played perfectly. Great buy!Dubliners Live (DVD), 2 Discs Only (No Cover, No Case) (#265646717645)
