The career of John Ford, considered by some to be America's greatest film director, spanned nearly half a century.

Lindsay Anderson's comprehensive survey of Ford's work has the authority of a writer who was himself a distinguished filmmaker, and the portrait that emerges has the vividness and warmth of friendship. "About John Ford leaves no room for challenge." -- David Robinson, The Times (London)

Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. 4to-over 9¾-12" tall AS IS. The binding was put on the text block upside down. The flaw is hidden by the dust jacket but if you take jacket off, you will notice the problem. Otherwise the book is in very good condition. The jacket is good with scuffing but no jacket chips or tears. Some natural age-darkening to jacket.
