Nobody captured the landscape and faces of the American people the way John Ford did, in films such as The Searchers, Stagecoach and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. He hid his sensitivity beneath a hard-drinking, exaggeratedly 'Irish' exterior, but Joseph McBride's biography succeeds in penetrating Ford's habitual reticence and sheds light upon previously unknown aspects of his professional endeavours.
