John Ford [SEP] Post-war career
After the war, Ford remained an officer in the United States Navy Reserve. He returned to active service during the Korean War, and was promoted to Rear Admiral the day he left service. Ford directed sixteen features and several documentaries in the decade between 1946 and 1956. As with his pre-war career, his films alternated between (relative) box office flops and major successes, but most of his later films made a solid profit, and "Fort Apache", "The Quiet Man", "Mogambo" and "The Searchers" all ranked in the Top 20 box-office hits of their respective years. Ford's first postwar movie "My Darling Clementine" (Fox, 1946) was a romanticized retelling of the primal Western legend of Wyatt Earp and the Gunfight at the O.K.
