AS SEEN ON TV: JOHN FORD

And now for something a little different, the "As Seen On TV" showcase features a man whose name was synonymous with the American West - at least as seen in the movies.
JOHN FORD
AS SEEN IN:
"The Adventures Of Young Indiana Jones: Hollywood Follies"

AS PLAYED BY:
Stephen Caffrey

Indiana Jones encountered John Ford in the summer of 1920, when he was hired by Irving Thalberg to keep explosive director Erich Von Stroheim under control and within the budget. I'm not sure if the name of the movie being directed by Ford was mentioned in the TV movie, but it had to be one of these (depending how fast they could be churned out by the movie studio):

"Desperate Trails" (1921)
"The Wallop" (1921)
"The Freeze-Out" (1921)
"The Big Punch" (1921)
"Just Pals" (1920)
"Hitchin' Posts" (1920) BCnU!
