Description
John Ford's masterpiece The Searchers (1956) is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. This study provides a detailed commentary on its production history, drawing on previously unseen material from the John Ford archive at Indiana University.
The film's influence can be seen in many contemporary filmmakers, and Edward Buscombe's insightful analysis offers new insights into its creation. By examining Ford's own memos and the original script, which differs significantly from the final product, Buscombe sheds light on the complexities of the film's production.
