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.

The film was one of the first to present an authentic and sympathetic view of the Native Americans. In his review of the DVD release of" Fort Apache" in 2012," New York Times" movie critic Dave Kehr called it" one of the great achievements of classical American cinema, a film of immense complexity that never fails to reveal new shadings with each viewing ... among the first pro-Indian westerns" that portrays the Native Americans with" sympathy and respect". The film was awarded the Best Director and Best Cinematography awards by the Locarno International Film Festival of Locarno, Switzerland. Screenwriter Frank S. Nugent was nominated for best screenplay by the Writers Guild of America. <SEP> Sepideh Farsi is an Iranian film director, born in Tehran in 1965. <SEP> Gary Smith is an entrepreneur, record producer, and artist's manager known for his work recording albums by alternative rock musicians since the mid-1980s at Fort Apache Studios.
