2002 - JOHN FORD GOES TO WAR, interesting war documentary about an interesting guy

Cinema scholars, movie buffs and film geeks take note, this is a short documentary covering John Ford's years in the OSS. This is an interesting little film, but this is not for the "typical" movie viewer.

This film will only appeal to people who are interested in the career of John Ford. This film covers the most important part of his life, his involvement in photographing World War II. Ford saw a lot of action during the war. He photographed Midway, The Doolittle Raid, North Africa, and D-Day.

He also prepared and photographed the Nazi atrocities against the Jews in the various concentration camps throughout Europe. Oliver Stone is in it whining about Ford making propaganda films for the government, which is pretty rich coming from a message filmmaker like him.
