	Ford Till '47
		Ford's tastes in sexuality are maybe not so fashionable as Hawks' (with his preternaturally rutting mannequins), but to me the outline of Ann's breasts, the simple way she stands and her forthright directness make a strong statement.
		Ford's headquarters were in Washington, D.C. He flew to Iceland and the Panama canal to film defence reports, got onto the carrier from which Doolittle launched his raid on Tokyo, and managed to film Japanese planes attacking him, him personally, in the middle of the biggest naval battle in history.
		Ford's space, in contrast, is almost always structured; he is obsessed with lines, planes, interior angles, depth-of-field alleys, which take on force in relation to defined space (the frame), and even this he emphasises, by angling his stage slightly to his focal plane.

	John Ford: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries
		In Stagecoach (1939) and The Searchers (1956), director John Ford presents women as living in a world fundamentally different from that of men; the outward manifestation of the difference is the stillness (not necessarily passivity) of the women and the contrasting activity of the men.

	American Masters . John Ford/John Wayne \| PBS
		Ford had been a successful director for over a decade when he met Marion Morrison, at the time a young USC student working a summer job on the Fox lot as an assistant property man. He saw something in Morrison and gave the "kid" a few walk-ons in his films.
		This was a situation many felt Ford could have stepped in to remedy, but over the next decade all the struggling young actor heard was that "Pappy was keeping an eye out for a script that would best suit the Duke," his affectionate nickname for Wayne.
		Whether it was Ford's infamously sadistic personality or a clever ploy to have the other actors support Wayne, the end result brought forth the persona that would come to be known as The Duke.
