Biography
John Ford, American director, screenwriter, and producer of Irish descent. A legend of world cinema, he began in Hollywood in the silent era, and his filmography is highly extensive and varied. As a director he is credited with more than 100 features, many of which are Westerns and adventure flicks, but he also worked on socio-critical topics and adaptations of literary works. In his pictures he often developed a favorite motif: a group of people facing danger.
Ford is the only moviemaker to have won four Academy Awards for Best Director. He won Oscars for the psychological drama The Informer (1935), the social dramas The Grapes of Wrath (1940) and How Green Was My Valley (1941), and for the rare romantic comedy The Quiet Man (1952). He also took Academy Awards for the World War II documentaries The Battle of Midway (1942) and December 7th: The Movie (1943).
