Legendary horror filmmaker John Carpenter bashes John Ford and the Direction of Stagecoach in this short video.

John Ford is frequently cited as one of the masters of American filmmaking, but in this interview with Mick Garris, John Carpenter expressed his quibbles with The Searchers, The Quiet Man and Stagecoach.

Garris asked Carpenter who some one of major influences were when he started out, and he mentioned Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Roman Polanski and Orson Welles, before speaking of John Ford.

Although Carpenter still loves The Grapes of Wrath to this day, he was particularly unimpressed with Ford's direction of the stagecoach scenes in the classic 1939 western, Stagecoach.
