John Farrow: Hollywoodâs Man in the Shadows
Synopsis
John Farrow: Hollywoodâs Man in the Shadows is the first documentary ever made about one of Hollywoodâs most prolific yet forgotten filmmakers, John Villiers Farrow (1904 -1963). Part mystery, part biography, part film noir â the documentary follows the stranger than fiction story of this Australian born, Oscar-winning filmmaker. As one of Hollywoodâs most enigmatic f igures, Farrow was the director of some 50 films; a sailor, a poet, a war hero, best-selling author, a religious scholar, a family man and a philanderer â a man who lived many lives â yet who left behind no memoirs, no interviews and no archival footage â and who today is only a shadow in the pages of film history.
