About this product
Product Information
John Ford's masterpiece The Searchers (1956) was rated fifth greatest film of all time in Sight and Sound's most recent poll of critics. Its influence on many of America's most distinguished contemporary filmmakers, among them Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, and John Milius, is enormous. John Wayne's portrait of the vengeful Confederate Ethan Edwards gives the film a truly epic dimension, as his long and lonely journey into the dark heart of America. Edward Buscombe provides a detailed commentary on all aspects of the film, and makes full use of material in the John Ford archive at Indiana University, including Ford's own memos and the original script, which differs in vital respects from the film he made.Product Identifiers

A Solid Analysis Of A Classic Western
This BFI Classic is a nice little book and a solid addition to the library of a film fan. Edward Buscombe is a stuffy academic and a weak writer, but the ideas and themes raised by The Searchers is compelling enough to transcend the thin analysis. The copy of this compact book that I received had scholarly notes about recurring motifs written in the margins by the previous owner, which instead of being a distraction actually enhanced my reading. A good collection of cinema stills handsomely illustrate the visual poetry of John Ford's epic western. These BFI Classic series often promise more than they deliver but this is worthwhile if you're a fan.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
