| | John Ford, American film director |
 | | Over the next 50 years, he brought a painterly eye, an appreciation of his actors' strengths, and a deep love of Americana to over 200 feature films. |
 | | Although Ford set films in other parts of the country or world, including several in Ireland, he returned to the Western repeatedly throughout his career. |
 | | These films merge a beautiful pictorial style, using the buttes and mesas almost as architectural features, with stories that frequently deal with the nature of military command. |
