Peter Ford is the only child of actor Glenn Ford and Eleanor Powell, luminaries during the Golden Age of Cinema. Eleanor Powell is best known as the "Queen of Tap" at MGM and Glenn Ford, whose unforgettable performance in the Film Noir classic "Gilda" co-starring Rita Hayworth, heralded his seven decade career as a major star on the Silver Screen.
"Peter Ford: A Little Prince" is a short documentary film produced & directed by Alexander Roman that pulls back the curtain and takes an intimate look at a Hollywood Family through the reflections of a child.
During the height of Glenn Ford's career, he captured for audiences all over the world the ideal man in films like "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," "The Big Heat," "Blackboard Jungle," and "Superman." The general public viewed Glenn Ford and his family as idyllic, but as Peter reveals honestly, there was much turbulence behind the picture perfect family that crossed the line between fantasy & reality.
