And while the interviewer is clearly no Franco expert, he does ask reasonable questions that deliver some nice responses. "More than a little hysterical"

I've never really looked at Ford's work, is it relevant to Franco scholars, I mean, is there a direct influence? I know he made a lot of classic westerns with upright moralistic characters, which seems to be as far away as you get from Franco's universe. I guess it must be a stylistic influence?

" Ford is one of the great pioneer studio directors. Franco likely grew up watching his movies. However their asthetics are far apart. One might find connections with THH QUIET MAN (as a mood piece), GIDION OF SCOTLAND YARD (a police mystery), DONNAVAN'S REEF (a lark), THE INFORMER (symbolisim and a silent movies masqerading as a talkie). One movie ( I can't recall the name) in particular could be an influence OASIS OF THE ZOMBIES, visually anyways. A lost patrol from WWI is stranded in the Mesopatamia Desert. It features Boris Karloff as a nutjob who has God Fever.

You know, the key is have him talking in Spanish, he can express himself freely and deeply. Sometimes when he talks English or French in other interviews you realize he can't say exactly what he wants, and lots of things are lost in translation. Otherwise he is always a great character to interview. [Visit my blog @ http://franconomicon.wordpress.com ]
