The career of John Ford, considered by some to be America’s greatest film director, spanned nearly half a century. With masterpieces like Stagecoach, The Informer, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Searchers, he was one of the world’s most popular filmmakers and one of the most universally admired. About John Ford is a critical interpretation and a personal tribute. 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)

Sobre John Ford es a la vez una interpretación crítica y un tributo personal. Estudio exhaustivo de la obra de Ford, no sólo posee la autoridad de un autor que fue también un distinguido director de cine, sino que el retrato que emerge de sus páginas posee, consecuentemente, la viveza y el calor de la amistad. El resultado es este libro, no una hagiografía sino el relato de los encuentros que Anderson mantuvo con Ford, en el que se incluyen textos críticos clave, que nunca antes se habían publicado en forma de libro, así como una valoración de sus mayores logros artísticos. El libro se completa con una reveladora serie de cartas de los principales colaboradores de Ford en la elaboración de sus guiones (Dudley Nichols, Frank Nugent y Nunnally Johnson) y conversaciones con cuatro actores que tuvieron la oportunidad de trabajar con él y conocerlo a fondo (Henry Fonda, Harry Carey Jr., Robert Montgomery y Donal Donnelly). La carrera de John Ford, uno de los más importantes directores del cine clásico americano, abarca aproximadamente medio siglo. Obras maestras como El caballo de hierro (1924), El delator (1935), La diligencia (1936), Las uvas de la ira (1940) o Centauros del desierto (1956) lo han convertido en uno de los cineastas más populares del mundo y en uno de los más universalmente admirados.
