very much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> what can you tell us about the work of john ford? >> well, ford was one of the most respected directors in hollywood, probably the most respected director before the war. between 1939 and 1941 he went on kind of an unmatched tear in hollywood making "the grapes of wrath," "how green was my valley," "stagecoach," "drums along the mohawk," just a set of movie that is gave him the reputation as one of the most intelligent and serious minded directors. he was also the most prescient of the five directors i write about in realizing war was inevitable inevitable. three months before pearl harbor, ford was already in uniform. he felt war was coming, and he also understood hollywood really needed to be prepared. he had gotten the navy to agree almost a year before the war to let him create something that came to be known as the field photo unit. it was a sort of -- intended as an auxiliary in which he recruited cameramen and soundmen and film editors from hollywood studios who would spend their weekends and nights training to do things like

how did john ford view his service in the u.s. navy? >> ford was really proud of his service.rvice.irst world war, although the he didn't. so for ford i think the war was w a proving ground.an he really wanted to test his courage, and although he was, you know, at least once directly o in the line of fire, i'm not d sure that ford ever believed at that he was courageous. al in fact, at one point he said, all i know is that i'm not a brave man, that i'm a coward. that was after he had been at d-day. so ford was really proud that hed had served, and, in fact, when he completed his sort of decommissioning papers, he said he would do it again if called t upon. one of the things ford did right after the war was start a place called the farm, which was sort of a combination rest home, clubhouse, barroom, getaway for the men in his field photo unit, unit and it was a place that he ted decorated with, you know, every medal and recognition that he wi had ever won during the war. that was something he was really obsessed with, but it was a huge part of his identity, and he kept it in operatio

john ford, a big entry. why? john ford was a navy groupie, and even though his prewar fame as a movie director had nothing to do with naval subjects. as i recall he was born in maine and grew up on the rockbound coast. so salt water was in his veins early on. and when world war ii started, he basically not on the navy's door and said, here i am, make use of me. he was given a direct commission i think as a lieutenant commander with a film crew, and he had visiting privileges almost anywhere. there's a little-known but superb color documentary that his crew made right after the battle of midway in june of 1942 1942. and he's well-known for that documentary, but less well known is the fact that his film crew was aboard navy and coast guard ships off normandy, and some of the combat footage we see in the tv documentaries were shot by his cameramen. >> it's obvious when you think about it but i was fascinated to see them in debt. a british person, simon fraser, lord love a. he is one of those high land warriors, luck

when john ford who made the battle of midway and the film threw out when shrapnel hit, he surprised manyvie. by leaving something that looks like a mistake in the movie. huston, better than any director from that period under that realness, roughness rawness imperfection, could be taken by audiences as a sign of truth. and even though he faked it he faked it with a powerful understanding of what he felt war really lookeded like. so you know, you can't watch san pietro anymore and take it as truth. i went to the national archives and watched the outtakes the footage that huston didn't use in the movie. it was interesting that he systematically discarded anything that looked too clean, too perfect, too hollywood. that is the mark of a very smart filmmaker and really understood that war movies were going to have to look different than how they had looked until that point. so as a document of filmmaking history, i think it's fascinating, and as a war document as a document of the length -- the lengths to which the army would go, including stretching or ignoring the truth, i think it's also a

when john ford made "the battle of midway", he surprised people by leaving it in the movie. ealness, roughness, rawness, imperfection could be taken by audiences as a sign of truth. even though he fixed it -- faked it, it he faked it with a powerful understanding of what he felt more really looks like. you cannot watch san pietro anymore and take it as truth. i went to the national archives and washed the outtakes -- watched the outtakes. he systematically discarded anything that looked to clean, too perfect, too hollywood. that is a mark of a very smart filmmaker and someone who really understood that war movies were going to have to look different than they had looked until that point. as a document of film making history, i think it is fascinating. as a word document -- as a document the links to which the army would go, including stretching the truth, it is an important part of america's war so making history. >> john huston's. or is the award-winning actress angelica huston. >> john huston's daughter is the award-winning actress angelica huston. >> unlike many of the oth

when ford gets the profile of current joel ward from the john f. kennedy foundation for his pardon of richard nixon. now, i submit to you that while ford deserved as a man of honor and a man who was almost killed in world war ii, almost blown off by a tycoon of his aircraft carrier, a man who served his country honorably deserves to be courageous, but that is not what the pardon was all about. the pardon was to clean his desk so he could have the ford administration that he wanted. he wanted to get rid of that, and he is being honored something here that i think is true to his character but not true to the incident. gerald ford said to me when i asked him what was the most important thing you want to be remembered for as president of the united states. he did not even bat an eye. he said if i am remembered for anything, i want to be remembered for healing this land. depending on how you view the pardon, i will leave it up to you as to whether or not president ford did what he wanted to do. i thank you, and -- [applause] thank you. >> that was great,

ford and edward leavy. that certainly in that. not typical of the attorney general. they view the department of justice to protect his brothers personal reputation and partisan interest. that's what john mitchell had done as well. edward leavy was quite the opposite. president -- president ford delegated him substantial autonomy, but not complete independence, nor did the attorney general want independence. at that time, there were many toposed bills in washington make the attorney general independent of the president. for example, the way the dei director is now. they have a 10-year term that would survive the president who , to take away from the justice department the authority to investigate high-level officials, special prosecutors. was theeavy's view attorney general is accountable to the president for policies, whether the priorities of the department of justice -- what are the priorities of the department of justice going to be, for example. example, where the law was uncertain, guidance from the president that was appropriate. interestingly, edward leavy and president ford had been graduate students at yale law school at the same time. the president, in a self-deprecating way
