John Farrow - Hollywood’s Man in the Shadows is the first documentary ever made about one of Hollywood’s most prolific yet forgotten filmmakers John Villiers Farrow. Part mystery, part biography, part film noir - the documentary follows the stranger than fiction story of this Australian born, Oscar-winning filmmaker. As one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic figures - Farrow was the director of some 50 films; a sailor, a poet, a war hero, best-selling author, a religious scholar, a family man and a philanderer - a man who lived many lives - yet who left behind no memoirs, no interviews and no archival footage - and who today is only a shadow in the pages of film history.
