Artist David Lambert returns to talk about John Ford's first feature-length film, Straight Shooting. We explore Ford's early Hollywood days, his collaborations with Harry Carey, and the striking visual storytelling that's already on display from the very start of his career.

We also touch on D.W. Griffith's The Battle of Elderbush Gulch, a key influence on Ford. He references it directly later on in Stagecoach.
