Only for John Ford lovers
John Ford was a famed Hollywood director especially known for his Westerns. What’s less known is his role in making films for the American war effort in World War II. This documentary attempts to fill that gap. It argues that Ford was always drawn to the American character and what better time to highlight that then during a war.<br /><br />The problem is this is a completely traditional documentary with voice overs and talking head after talking head. Not only that but the commentary gets as patriotic and propagandistic as the original films made during WWII claiming that American images and values are universal. There are also some really bad editing moves like going from talking about the Holocaust and the Nuremberg trials to the clothes Ford wore. Most importantly there’s only shot flashes of Ford’s work during the war.<br /><br />Overall this is a movie that only true Ford lovers need watch. The rest can skip it.
