Ford never had me in mind when she said that.
Only one problem: as the local agency had learned that morning, the two Ford representatives (from New York and Paris, respectively) promised under the licensing agreement and highly touted in all the related promotional materials had not been allowed onto their respective flights because—get this—they had no Russian visas(!).
In perhaps the greatest affront of all, it was the French Ford “representative” who got to go up on stage and present the prize (a flimsy plastic rectangle about the size of a shoebox) to the winner.

 Review: The Quiet Man   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
John Ford is widely regarded as the best director of Westerns, many of which featured his good friend and favorite actor, John Wayne, as the lead.
Ford, also of Irish extraction, could relate to Thornton's journey (at least in a metaphysical sense), and many have seen the character as a stand-in for the director, who spent fifteen years pursuing the motion picture version of Maurice Walsh's short story, "Green Rushes," with a singleminded determination.
Nevertheless, Ford wanted the sense of authenticity that could only come from filming in the country where the picture was set.

 MetroActive Stage | 'Falstaff'
Myriad traps are set and hilarious chaos ensues as contingencies and counterattacks abound on all sides, including those hailing from Alice's misinformed and jealous husband, John Ford (William Neely), who misconstrues the besotted knight's relationship with his wife.
Meanwhile, young lovers Nannetta (Jenni Samuelson) and Fenton (Joseph Meyers) carry the requisite "threatened union" subplot endemic to comic opera (John Ford, the girl's father, has promised her hand to the wizened nebbish Dr. Caius, a role marking a fine comic turn by Michael Mendelsohn).
Eileen Morris shines particularly as the conniving Alice Ford and delivers a spirited and adroit performance that showcases her abundant gifts as both an actress and an opera singer.
