One widespread assumption is that he was almost exclusively a man's director, dismissive of, or at best not well attuned to, the stories, perspectives and concerns of women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book forthrightly challenges such an assumption, giving readers a richer understanding of the director's view of the world and of the women as well as the men who inhabit it. Taking a fresh look at dozens of Ford films, both familiar favorites and under-appreciated gems, it focuses on the complex and diverse female characters in them as well as the actresses who so ably portrayed them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46500754129047,"sku":"9780786477890","price":2823.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786477890.webp?v=1769195504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/women-in-the-films-of-john-ford-9780786477890","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
