Marc Eliot’s Art of Film

John Ford’s 2002 John Ford Goes to War

“John Ford’s place in the Pantheon is safe and secure. Thurman’s documentary on Ford’s wartime exploits and propaganda film open up a side of the great filmmaker usually overlooked by his classic features. Both film and filmmaker are essential to the art of film.”

- Marc Eliot

George Stevens’ 1994 From D-Day to Berlin

“Stevens’ personal films document his involvement in the liberation of France and the Allied March into Berlin. An incredible bit of filmmaking from a director who mostly made commercial features 1954’s Shane.”

- Marc Eliot
