Brother Feeney — Francis Ford Today Francis Ford is mostly a footnote for bit parts he played in thirty-one(?) of his brother John Ford’s movies, particularly the amiable coonskin drunks in Judge Priest (1934), Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) and The Sun Shines Bright (1953). But his whole career was remarkable. Said John Ford, “He was a great cameraman—there’s nothing they’re doing today—all these things that are supposed to be so new—that he hadn’t done; he was really a good artist, a wonderful musician, a hell of a good actor, a good director—Johnny of all trades—and master of all; he just couldn’t concentrate on one thing too long. But he was the only influence I ever had, working in pictures.” sensesofcinema/2009/feature-articles/brother-feeney-francis-ford
