Today for Irish American Heritage Month we celebrate Irish American Film Director John Ford. Asked for a list of his favorite filmmakers, Orson Welles once replied, “I prefer the old masters, by which I mean John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford… He’s a poet and a comedian. With Ford at his best, you get a sense of what the earth is made of.”
Born john Martin Feeney to Gaelic-speaking immigrant parents, he would earn 4 Best Directing Oscars.
For many Irish Americans, watching John Ford’s “The Quiet Man” is as much a part of St. Patrick’s Day tradition as Frank Capra’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” is a part of Christmas.
