About This Item
Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some very minor edge-wear and a crease affecting the back cover and last 5 pages, but very little wear otherwise. Edited and designed by Ian Cameron. Ford, who was known for his big-sky cinematography and dearth of close-ups, had two contrasting landscape photos hanging in his office and reportedly told a young Steven Speilberg, 'When you know why the horizon goes at the top of the frame or the bottom of the frame, then you're a director,' before throwing him out of his office. Despite his gruff reputation (When Jean-Luc Godard asked him what brought him to Hollywood, he replied, 'A train'), his lengthy interviews with Bogdanovich compiled here go much more smoothly, and the New Hollywood director also pens two essays about Ford, included along with a descriptive filmography. Lovely square format with low-horizon Monument Valley cover and generous illustrations typical of the Movie Paperbacks series by author/editor/photographer/designer/publisher ('Producer is the best word,' observes a slash-fatigued Guardian obituary) Cameron. 149 pp.
