  • Biographie De John Ford
    Biographie de John Ford Portrait de John Ford Nationalité Américain d’origine irlandaise (famille modeste) Dates de naissance et décès né le 1er février 1894 et mort le 31 août 1973 Profession réalisateur, producteur, cinéaste Eléments biographiques majeurs Révolte à Dublin (1938) La Chevauchée Fantastique (1939) Vers sa Destinée (1939) Quelle était verte ma vallée (1941) Les Raisins de la Colère (1940) Dès l’entrée en guerre des Etats-Unis (1941), il est mobilisé dans la marine. Il va participer à toute la guerre, sur tous les fronts. Dans le Pacifique, où il perd un œil à la bataille de Midway, mais aussi en Europe après le débarquement de Normandie. L’armée utilise alors ses talents de réalisateur pour lui commander des films de propagande. La Bataille de Midway ou Torpedo Squadron qui datent tous deux de 1942, sont deux documentaires produits par l’armée pour soutenir l’effort de guerre. Le Massacre de Fort Apache (1948), La Charge héroïque (1950) et Rio Grande (1951) La Poursuite Infernale (1946) Le fils du désert (1949) La Prisonnière du Désert (1956) Avec plus 140 films à son actif, Ford s’affirme donc comme l’un des piliers de la période du classique hollywoodien (années 1920 – années 1960) et une figure de l’art cinématographique (Il obtient quatre fois l’oscar du meilleur réalisateur). Le titre : « Les Raisins de la Colère » Le titre du film est identique au roman de J Steinbeck. Alors qu'il écrit son roman chez lui, Steinbeck éprouve des difficultés particulières à trouver un titre. Sa femme, Carol Steinbeck, lui propose Les Raisins de la colère, en référence au The Battle Hymn of the Republic de Julia Ward Howe chant anti-esclavagiste très connu aux Etats- Unis.

KEEP 'EM SII~KLNGI An American Sub's Eye View of the Sinking of a Japanese Destroyer. This remarkable photograph, the first combat action photograph taken through the periscope of 8n American submarine, shows an enemy destroyer of one of the latest and largest types after it had been struck by two torpedoes launched by the submarine from which the picture was taken. The destroyer sank in nine minutes. Note the Rising Sun insignia on top of the turret to theleft, which serves as an identification mark for aircraft. Also note the two men in white scrambling over the conning-tower to the right. The marks on the left and the center line are etchings on the periscope. WORDSONCE SPOKEN CAN NEVER BE RECALLED 2 LET’S GET REALLY MAD AND STAY MAD ‘We quote from Jan Henrik Marsman’s article, “I escaped from Hong Kong”, published in the Saturday Evening Post dated June 6, 1942: “I saw the Japanese wantonly torture and finally murder British Officers and soldiers in Hong Kong. I saw them jab helpless civilian prisoners with bayonets. I witnessed the rape of English women by the soldiery. I saw the Japanese slowly starve English and American babies and I still wake up in the middle of the night hearing the feeble wails of these infant victims. I saw Hiro Hito’s savages outdo one another in.practicing assorted cruelties on captured English, Canadian, Indian and Chinese soldiers”.

  • John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'fearna)
    John Ford Birth Name: John Martin Feeney (Sean Aloysius O'Fearna) Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.

    To Save and Project: The 12th MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation Screening Schedule October 24–November 22, 2014 Friday, October 24 7:00 The Iron Mask. 1929. USA. Directed by Allan Dwan. Story by Elton Thomas (Douglas Fairbanks). With Douglas Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, Dorothy Revier, Nigel De Brulier. We are proud to open To Save and Project 2014 with the North American premiere of The Iron Mask, a major restoration from MoMA’s film archive supervised by Peter Williamson, Preservation Officer, and based on the original camera negative given to MoMA in 1935 by Douglas Fairbanks. A stand-alone sequel to Fairbanks’s 1921 hit The Three Musketeers, The Iron Mask was, in the words of its director, Allan Dwan, “the last of the big silents,” and the swashbuckling action—superbly filmed by Dwan, one of the great masters of the seamless classical style—leads gracefully into a poignant farewell to silent films and the larger-than-life figures who inhabited them. Midway through production, Fairbanks decided to yield in part to the rapidly emerging demand for talking pictures and added three spoken sequences to the film. Thanks to the recent rediscovery of the missing soundtrack discs, The Iron Mask can now be heard for the first time since 1929 with all of the spoken sequences, as well as Hugo Riesenfeld’s symphonic score, restored to their original fidelity. Preserved by The Museum of Modern Art with support from the Celeste Bartos Fund for Film Preservation. 95 min. Saturday, October 25 2:00 Todo Modo. 1976. Italy/France.

John Keegan, The Price of Admiralty: The Evolution of Naval Warfare. New York: Viking, 1989. p. 211 This is a selected, partially annotated bibliography listing books, periodical articles, web sites, and videos related to the Battle of Midway. Certain entries have brief annotations, many of which are taken from annotations in other bibliographies, books, and book reviews, when attributed, and directly from library cataloger’s notes when not. Although listings for materials in foreign languages are included, the greatest number of entries is for English language materials. The bibliography is intended to be a tool to assist researchers as they study this significant battle, which turned the tide in the Pacific theater. It is not intended as a comprehensive listing of all materials on the topic. Why are there so many citations to the same titles? In publishing, history tends to repeat itself as well.
