(Brave New World)...unlike other Hollywood people. A brilliant raconteur....By the end of the book, one feels one has lived in the surreal conditions of a Ford set on location, where grown men were treated like children. (Gary Wills)Carey shows the care, tedium, challenge, and exhiliration of filmmaking, and provides an intimate portrait of the great director at work and the actors and actresses, such as John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Maureen O'Hara, who were part of Ford's vision of America. Includes a filmography and numerous b&w; photos. (Reference And Research Book News)Since Ford remains the most honored U.S. picturemaker, arguably its finest as well, Carey's book is both a valuable treasure and a complete delight.
