Directed by John Ford

Restored, renewed, restructured, remarkable!

Peter Bogdanovich's tribute to America's indispensable filmmaker.

In 1971 Peter Bogdanovich made a fascinating documentary about legendary John Ford in which Henry Fonda, James Stewart and John Wayne revealed firsthand tales about the man often cited as America's greatest, most influential filmmaker. Thirty-five years later there were more stories to tell - by, among others, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and Katharine Hepburn. Bogdanovich wove these new interviews into a reedited, restructured documentary offering a more personal vision of the man and his work. Packed with clips, anecdotes and insights, Directed By John Ford is a treasure for buffs, for new classics fans, for rising filmmakers who in another 35 years will want to share how Ford's work impacts their own.
