P L O T

In 1971, Peter Bogdanovich was, perhaps, America's most
promising young filmmaker, having directed the
remarkable "Targets" (1968) and "The Last Picture Show"
(1971) earning him an Academy Award nomination for the
latter. At this point, he chose to make a documentary
about legendary film director John Ford. The result was
a documentary that drew excellent reviews, following a
screening at the 1971 New York Film Festival and a
television broadcast. It was later withdrawn from
circulation because of legal rights. It was only in
early 2006 that Bogdanovich - who was reportedly never
totally happy with the 1971 version - went back and
revamped the documentary to his satisfaction. He
recorded totally new interviews with Martin Scorsese,
Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg and incorporated a
rare audio recording of Ford and his rumored
'significant other' Katharine Hepburn. He has
integrated these new elements alongside the strongest
sections from the first version - including extended
interviews with Ford and collaborators such as John
Wayne, Richard Widmark, James Stewart and Henry Fonda.
The result is an entertaining, comprehensive and loving
tribute to the man long regarded as one of America's
greatest film directors. "Directed By John Ford"
reminds the viewer that Peter Bogdanovich, along with
Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood and Steven Speilberg,
is one of our most prominent and respected film
historians to whom we all owe a great deal of
gratitude.
