What would American film be without its filmmakers? John Ford: Interviews is the first collection of conversations with the acclaimed American filmmaker. Edited and collected by Gerald Peary, this compilation reveals Ford's blunt and candid responses to questions (legend has it he was ""the interviewee from Hell""), interviews translated from the French and his words during the period before his death in 1973. Ford's discussions about his work and productions (including The Quiet Man and The Grapes of Wrath) will delight filmmakers and cinema buffs alike. ( Dec)
