JOHN FORD: THE INFORMER & GRAPES OF WRATH W/RICK PATT!
Our two-part John Ford series begins with Ford fan and podcast pal Rick Patt joining us and curating the films!
For part one we watched two Oscar winning award-winning Ford films made before he and John Wayne became entwined in their classic western collaborations (that's next week).
THE INFORMER (1935) won Ford a Best Director Oscar! It features an Oscar-winning performance by Victor McLagen as a large, dim brute "Gypo" Nolan in the latter days of the Irish civil war in 1925. When the opportunity comes to turn in an old chum with a reward on his head, Gypo does the unthinkable and does just that. With the money he can now sail to America with his sweetheart! Sweet, right? However, a night of drunkenness leads Gypo into the unthinkable as the money spills away in drink and debauchery. A claustrophobic, smokey nightmare that, not surprisingly, ends poorly for our lad. McLagen gives a brilliant old-school performance of big gestures and confused morals and Ford shoots in an unsparing bravura style
GRAPES OF WRATH (1940) won Ford another Best Director Oscar and is one of his best remembered for good reason. A dynamite script and a cast to die for brings John Steinbeck's Pulitzer and National Book Award winning depression-era road trip classic about the Joads making their way from Oklahoma to California into a stirring reminder of both resilience and how crappy some folks can be. Top five all-time cinematographer Gregg Toland shoots the living hell out of this in one of the best-looking black and white films in the era known for the best-looking black and white films. We go into the adaptation, and some controversy about the novel itself on.
Two of the earliest films we have ever dived into.
