Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Allan CGood documentary about John Ford's time in the Navy directing documentary films during WWII. Good mix of people are interviewing, from critics to film historian to Ford contemporaries to present day filmmakers.
User Review - 4/10 by Zack BDisapointing documentary could have been a lot better. The film deals with Ford making various documentarys of WWII, while he went over to Europe. Plays out like a boring classroom doc.
