  Orson Welles, while making "Citizen Kane", said (paraphrase) "We watch the old masters: John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford". Welles watched
  "Stagecoach" in particular many times.

  One of the greatest, but the greatest?
  Well I love him, love him very much.
  And the other John, the Huston one was not bad either.
  His last film is and will always remain as one of my favourit.
  The Dead.
  What a film, boy what a film.
  And what a book.

      I have the Spanish DVD, which is now sold out, and I just bought this one, in the hope the quality will be better....Thanks to your message I made a search and...BINGO.
      And when the USA version will come I will get this one too.
      That is what I call fanatic...

          I do have the laserdisc but the aspect ratio is not right as it's a pan and scan version. Plus a modern DVD would play that wonderful Victorian piano music in 5.1.

    I don't think anybody made as many really good pictures as Ford. The guy was making pictures from what, the 1910s into the 1960s and so many of them were very good. A huge body of high quality work.

      Yes that is precisely what I thought when I wrote you back.
      Very few of his film are not really worth to be seen.
      One of the few I never liked was " They were not expandable " or something like it.
      And his last one, I think.
