{"product_id":"the-lost-worlds-of-john-jeffrey-richards-9781350194960","title":"The Lost Worlds of John Ford: Beyond the Western","description":"The great director John Ford (1894-1973) is best known for classic westerns, but his body of work encompasses much more than this single genre. Jeffrey Richards develops and broadens our understanding of Ford's film-making oeuvre by studying his non-Western films through the lens of Ford's life and abiding preoccupations. Ford's other cinematic worlds included Ireland, the Family, Catholicism, War and the Sea, which share with his westerns the recurrent themes of memory and loss, the plight of outsiders and the tragedy of family breakup. Richards' revisionist study both provides new insights into familiar films such as \u003ci\u003eThe Fugitive\u003c\/i\u003e(1947);\u003ci\u003e The Quiet Man\u003c\/i\u003e(1952), \u003ci\u003eGideon's Way\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Informer\u003c\/i\u003e (1935) and reclaims neglected masterpieces, among them \u003ci\u003eWee Willie Winkie\u003c\/i\u003e (1937) and the extraordinary \u003ci\u003eThe Long Voyage Home\u003c\/i\u003e.
