Directed by Henry King
Featuring a new introduction by critic Imogen Sara Smith In a career that stretched from 1915 to 1962, coinciding with the rise and fall of the studio system itself, Henry King was one of Fox’s most skillful directors, helming more than one hundred films—a staggering body of work studded with acknowledged classics and rare gems across nearly every genre. His finest works—like the lovely slice of Americana State Fair , the luminous spiritual drama The Song of Bernadette , and the elegiac western The Gunfighter —glow with moments of delicate, bittersweet poetry that can turn unexpectedly piercing. They are works of impeccable craft from a subtle and often overlooked artist who sought to see through the tangle of dreams and delusions and into the soul of America.
