Peter Bogdanovich, a promising young filmmaker, directed a documentary about legendary director John Ford in 1971. The documentary received excellent reviews, but was later withdrawn due to legal issues. In 2006, Bogdanovich revised the documentary, recording new interviews with Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, and Steven Spielberg, and incorporating a rare audio recording of Ford and Katharine Hepburn. The result is a comprehensive and loving tribute to Ford, featuring extended interviews with collaborators like John Wayne, Richard Widmark, James Stewart, and Henry Fonda.
