He began by shadowing his brother Francis Ford on the set of the silent movies the older sibling directed, which eventually allowed John to transition into directing his own silent features. When Darryl F. Zanuck's nascent 20th Century Studios merged with Fox, Ford became a contract director at the company, beginning a fruitful relationship between the studio head and his artist that was often contentious but also one built on mutual respect. Under Zanuck, Ford made many of his most famous pictures and won two Oscars. When World War II broke out, both men joined the war effort, with Ford helming a film unit that chronicled the efforts of the U.S. troops.
After the war, both men resumed their previous positions, though the movies they made had a new gravity. Unfortunately, disagreements over the film My Darling Clementine would prove too much, and John Ford ended his relationship with Zanuck and largely moved on from Fox.
