About this title: Nobody captured the landscape and faces of the American people the way John Ford did, in films such as "The Searchers", "Stagecoach" and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". He hid his sensitivity beneath a hard-drinking, exaggeratedly "Irish" exterior, but Joseph McBride's biography succeeds in penetrating Ford's habitual reticence and sheds light upon previously unknown aspects of his professional endeavours.

"This is the third biography of John Ford that I have read and easily the best. McBride is one of the premier historians of American film, with an earlier book that contains some of the best analyses of Ford's work ever written. I found the early chapters of Searching slow going, in part because I never enjoy that section of a biography, but as soon as Ford arrived in Hollywood and especially after he became renowned in the 1930s the book was riveting. McBride deftly approaches Ford's complex political views and alliances, showing how he became more conservative in the 1950s while simultaneously growing more and more sympathetic to the outsider in American culture. This is one of the great film biographies."
