Publisher's Synopsis
Who doesn't like the movies? Fame is a curious thing. There was a time when anyone said, "Francis Ford" and everyone knew who you were talking about, even in the Islands of the Pacific. Today if you mention the last name "Ford" many will think of the great director John Ford. But, if you were to ask John Ford... well, we'll let John speak for himself: "My brother Francis was a great filmmaker! There is nothing being done today in the movies that my brother hadn't already done. He was a really great artist, a wonderful musician, a hell of a good actor, a fine director, a johnny of all trades and master of all of them! He was the only influence I ever had working in pictures." - John Ford, director. Finally Francis speaks again! Come and enjoy Hollywood from the perspective of the man who helped start it all, in his own words with never before seen family photographs and antidotes from behind the scenes. Including additional Hollywood secrets and tidbits by author and historian Reed Simonsen, and a foreword by Francis's grandson Christopher Ford. Francis Ford, the Legend of a Hollywood Icon!
