Three Masters Of American Filmmaking

The three undisputed masters of American filmmaking talk. It's interesting to see how as time changes, the American director personality changes with it.

John Ford: Cagey dictator. Very oldschool. He stonewalls all of the questions keeping his cards close to the vest.

Nicholas Ray: Martyred artist. A precursor to the beat generation, an idealist who believed art could change the world. He's forthright and emotional with his answers.

Michael Mann: Cagey salesman. Very intelligent and sociable but possibly cryptic.
