Hollywood Irish: John Ford, Abbey Actors and the Irish Revival in Hollywood

Adrian Frazier

4.9/5 (17418 ratings)

Description:In the course of a 1935 USA Abbey Theatre tour of the plays of Sean O' Casey and others, an extensive collaboration was launched between director John Ford ('My real name is Sean Martin Aloysius O'Feeney'), fresh from shooting O'Flaherty's The Informer, and star players such as Sarah Allgood, Barry Fitzgerald and his brother Arthur Shields. Tempted by movie contracts, these great actors resettled in Hollywood and became members of what was informally called Ford's 'stock company', appearing again and again in his key films such as The Long Way Home (1940), How Green Was My Valley (1941), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and The Quiet Man (1952).Based on a hitherto-unknown cache of Shields family papers and memorbilia, Frazier traces the remarkable life stories of these actors in their migration from Dublin to California. He shows how signifying elements of the Irish Revival mutated from world theatre to global cinema, giving fresh readings to some of the great films of the era.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
