“A first-rate historical film, as rich atmospherically as it is in action…Romantic enough for any adventure-story lover. It has its humor, its sentiment, its full complement of blood and thunder.” —The New York Times
“This historical chronicle directed by John Ford is made believable through its attention to small details, presenting a mosaic of frontier life. A sentimental beauty.” —TV Guide
“A typical Ford hymn to the pioneer spirit, his first film in colour and absolutely stunning to look at.” —Time Out London
Pantheon director John Ford’s Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) is an intimate epic, telling the story of one young couple’s efforts to farm a frontier homestead just as the Revolutionary War breaks out. Gil (Henry Fonda) and Lana (Claudette Colbert) are forced to endure the terror of combined Tory/Indian attacks, watch in horror as they are burned out of their home, and suffer the slings and arrows of war, all while trying to become part of the Mohawk Valley pioneer community. A pictorial feast from Ford, with stunning Oscar®-nominated cinematography by Ray Rennahan and Bert Glennon.
ALSO INCLUDING:
Becoming John Ford (2007), a feature-length documentary directed by Nick Redman about the long-term relationship between Ford (voiced by director Walter Hill) and Twentieth Century Fox production chief Darryl F. Zanuck (voiced by director Ron Shelton).
Enjoy the extensive Julie Kirgo liner notes and film art packaged with the Blu-ray disc.
