  • Bucking Broadway is a 1917 American western film directed by John Ford
    probably his sixth feature film.


    Long thought to be lost, along with about 60 of Ford's 70 silent films, it was found in 2002
    in the archives of the CNC (the French National Center for Cinematography).
    It was subsequently restored and digitized and is available on the website of Europa Film Tresures
    under the title A l'Assaut du boulevard.


    Harry Carey once again starring as Cheyenne Harry, but also
    as the producer of this movie
