Ford, unquestionably a giant of international film, was not a self-promoter, and remains a genius less recognised than his films - The Quiet Man, How Green Was My Valley, The Grapes of Wrath, Stagecoach, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance...Yet there were times he let the walls down and spoke openly, even generously. This book includes a dozen such lucid encounters, many reprinted for the first time, several French interviews (translated), and interviews newly discovered and not listed in any previous bibliography.
