Summary
"The Cavalry Trilogy captures the genesis of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), from pre-production to theatrical releases. Along the way, readers learn why Ford loved his favorite location (Monument Valley), how various stunts were achieved, and how Ford used his unique style in various scenes (called a "Fordian touch" by film critics and scholars). In addition, each film includes an analysis of Ford's scene construction and character development. Illustrated with numerous behind-the-scenes photographs, many which have never been published before, and screen captures from the cutting room floor, this book is the ultimate gift for John Ford fans and readers who love to discover the grit and glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age"-- Provided by publisher.
