With The Iron Horse, John Ford — theretofore known for his action-packed two-reel westerns — came to be regarded as one of Hollywood’s most important directors. An epic tale about the building of the transcontinental railroad, this mammoth production was three years in the making, employed over 5000 extras and necessitated the building of two entire towns. Yet beyond its impressive technical achievements, Ford proved his mastery with narrative, artfully weaving a revenge tale into the fabric of American history. A veritable treasure chest of the director’s most favored themes and motifs, this milestone of American cinema--which will be screened digitally--has now been lovingly restored by 20th Century Fox to its full glory. A live orchestra, playing a new, specially commissioned score by Christopher Caliendo, will accompany this screening. A 20th Century Fox release.
