John Ford
John Ford( February 1, 1894 – August 31, 1973) was an American film director.
He is renowned both for Westerns such as" Stagecoach"( 1939)," The Searchers"( 1956), and" The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"( 1962), as well as adaptations of classic 20th- century American novels such as the film" The Grapes of Wrath"( 1940).
His four Academy Awards for Best Director( in 1935, 1940, 1941, and 1952) remain a record.
One of the films for which he won the award," How Green Was My Valley", also won Best Picture.
In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Ford directed more than 140 films( although most of his silent films are now lost) and he is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of his generation.
Ford's work was held in high regard by his colleagues, with Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman among those who have named him one of the greatest directors of all time.
Ford made frequent use of location shooting and long shots, in which his characters were framed against a vast, harsh, and rugged natural terrain.

Michele Soavi
Michele Soavi, sometimes known as Michael Soavi( born 3 July 1957) is an Italian filmmaker, actor, and screenwriter best known for his work in the horror film genre, working alongside directors like Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci.
Dario Argento's World of Horror
Il Mondo dell'orrore di Dario Argento(" Dario Argento's World of Horror") is a 1985 Italian documentary film that chronicles the career of Italian horror and suspense film director Dario Argento.
It was the directorial debut of Michele Soavi, who later went on to direct the cult classic" Dellamorte Dellamore" in 1994.
The documentary features candid interviews with Argento and various stars from films he has directed, as well as extensive clips and behind- the- scenes footage of his films.
The film includes segments focused on subjects as the soundtrack work, coloring and color filtering, and camerawork in" Suspiria", the soundtrack for" Inferno", the camerawork and insect effects in" Phenomena", Tom Savini's make- up work in" Dawn of the Dead", and the special effects, make- up and robotics in" Dèmoni" as well as interviews with Argento on a variety of esoteric subjects.
Because most of Argento's films were only available in heavily edited form at the time," Dario Argento's World of Horror" was sought after by many fans of the director's work because it contained numerous clips of footage removed from the released films, most notably the opening double murder sequence from" Suspiria".
The Prisoner of Shark Island
The Prisoner of Shark Island is a 1936 film loosely based on the life of Maryland physician Samuel Mudd, who treated the injured presidential assassin John Wilkes Booth and later spent time in prison after his controversial conviction for being one of Booth's accomplices.
The film was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, was directed by John Ford and starred Warner Baxter and Gloria Stuart.
Twentieth Century Pictures, before it merged with Fox, purchased the rights to the book" The Life of Dr. Mudd" by Nettie Mudd Monroe, the doctor's daughter.
The film's credits, however, make no reference to Monroe or her book.
Modern sources state that Darryl F. Zanuck, Twentieth Century's vice- president in charge of production, got the idea to make the film after he read an article in" Time" magazine about the prison camp for political prisoners on the Dry Tortugas island.
