Want to know the best Glenn Ford movies?  How about the worst Glenn Ford movies?  Curious about Glenn Ford’s box office grosses or which Glenn Ford movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Glenn Ford movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences and which got the worst reviews? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

One of our first requested pages (5 years and 2 website homes ago) was for Glenn Ford (1916-2006).  So why the delay?  The main reason is that we generally stay away from Columbia Pictures performers.  The reason for this reluctance, is the fact that it is almost impossible to find box office numbers for Columbia Pictures movies from 1930 to 1980.  Getting box office numbers is one of the most important factors in our rankings.  Recently we got another request for Ford.  A deeper look into Ford’s career showed that many of his movies made Variety’s Top Grossing yearly movie charts.  So Søren, Flora, William, Hinton66 and Tom….finally here is your requested page.

Glenn Ford (1916-2006) was a Canadian-born American Golden Globe® winning actor.  Ford’s acting career covered 7 decades…from the 1930s to the 1990s. His IMDb page shows 110 acting credits from 1937-1991. This page ranks Glenn Ford movies from Best to Worst in six different sortable columns of information. Television shows, shorts, and movies not released in North America were not included in the rankings.

  1. Glenn Ford is one of my all time favorites. Maybe its his smile and his quiet confidence that he exudes that I like best about him. Cimarron is my favorite Glenn Ford movie. Glenn is heroic and always above board in his faith and sense of justice in his dealing with people. Most of his movies portray him as the quiet hero.

    1. Hey Arthur….glad you found our Glenn Ford page….it has been a nice view getter for us….including his son Peter finding this page. I agree with you, his smile and quiet confidence are major factors in his lasting success. I have not seen Cimarron……but it recently popped up at my local library….so I will have to check it out. There are some serious Glenn Ford fans here at this site…..looking at you Bob and Flora….so they will be happy to see another Glenn Ford fan coming out of the wood work…lol.

  2. HI BRUCE

    Tonight I was reading up some more on the great Glenn Ford [aka Charley Bill Stuart] who as you know is in my 10 all time favourite movie stars and I thought that the following extract from one article would interest you in view of some of our past exchanges on this site.

    Production of MGM’s Interrupted Melody (1955).

    According to Eleanor Parker, Glenn Ford would only appear in the film if he got top billing. Parker says “I wanted to do what was right for the picture so I said let him have the top billing. Glenn was a kind of a difficult man, but he was right for the picture and a very fine actor.”

    LOL BOB

    NOTE: Interrupted Melody was the story of opera singer Marjorie Lawrence’s struggle with polio and she was played by Parker and Glenn’s role in the film was secondary but in fairness he was a bigger star than Parker at that time and indeed always It’s Cogerson adjusted gross was approx $84 million and Wikipedia figures suggested that as it bucked the general trend by doing better overseas than domestically its adjusted worldwide gross was around $195 million against a budget of around $22 million in today’s money – ie a solid hit.

    1. Hey Bob.
      1. Good to know your Glenn Ford readings offered up some good information.
      2. So after reading your comment…I went and looked up Interrupted Melody on Wiki….and plugged in the worldwide rentals.
      3. Here is what I have….though it is not listed on the page. $2,227,000 in international rentals would equal $6.36 million in actual gross or $103.00 million in adjusted worldwide gross compared to $83.40 million in adjusted domestic gross…for a total of $186.40 million.
      4. It is stuff like this that tells me…that when I get done with the updates (87%) complete….that I need to go back and add in all the worldwide rentals I ignored….will it ever end?….lol.
      5. Good billing info on Mr. Ford….thanks for sharing the information.

  3. 1 You have seen my Top 30 faves list and know that Glenn is ranked 8th among male ACTORS in the list so he is up there in my esteem with the Duke, Jimmy etc. Glenn made many fine movies throughout his career but the ones that I most enjoyed are those that he made between 1955 and 1959 inclusive which also coincided with his Top Star years.

    2 In that period he made 17 movies in all 12 for MGM, 4 for Columbia and 1 for RKO and Bruce accords the 17 a combined adjusted domestic gross of almost $1.8 billion giving the 17 an overall average of around $105 million The 3 most profitable ones WORLDWIDE of the 12 under his MGM contract were Blackboard Jungle, The Teahouse of the August Moon and The Fastest Gun Alive, but according to Wikipedia only 1 of the MGM 12 did not make a profit and that was Torpedo Run (1958).

    3 Unfortunately after 1959 the hits thinned out and in fact MGM’s production costs for Glenn’s two early 1960s biggies Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Cimarron were so prohibitive that they incurred considerable losses that wiped out 83% of the entire worldwide profits from the 11 profitable Ford MGM films mentioned in para 2

    4 Your Top 30 absolutely delights me as, especially in its upper regions, it includes 13 of those 17 1955-59 films and I appreciated you mentioning Human Desire a little known Ford movie. I am glad to see that both you and Bruce give Gilda a high artistic score as I agree with him that despite Hayworth being the bigger star at that juncture it was really a ‘Glenn Ford’ flick Your posters for Cowboy were the two best that I’ve ever seen for that movie and I loved your little coloured still for The Fastest Gun Alive which depicted the harbinger of the impressive coin trick. One disappointment: the inclusion of Midway which was NOT a Ford movie – but I suppose you had to find some way of getting Chuck in !! ***

    5 A critic disparagingly wrote of another of my idols Alan Ladd that “he was a small boy’s idea of a cowboy.” Be that as it may Glenn made many westerns and he was not just the 1950s idol
    of small boys like me but he was EVERYONE”S idea of a cowboy back then. Your chart does full justice to Glenn’s western movies – so Guns Up!

    PS: I liked the opening comment from Glenn about his own acting style. Reminds me of the Duke saying “I don’t act on the screen – I react!.” *** SNAP !!!

    1. Hi Bob, thanks for the Guns Up! Arsenal fans would probably yell Gunners Up! 🙂

      I think most people would agree that Glenn Ford was one of the most likable actors of that era, when he passed away about 10 years ago members of my movie forum were genuinely upset, as if a beloved uncle had died.

      I did get a few complaints that Gilda should have been at the top of the video chart, not 3-10 to Yuma, I understand how they feel it’s an iconic film (mostly because of Hayworth) but take away Ford and Hayworth and the movie itself is routine, nothing that special about it. Still, it’s only a fraction of a point between the top 4 films on my video, practically a tie.

      Glad you liked the posters, I tried to balance the original US artwork with the sometimes more vivid foreign art. Posters from Belgium are particularly sought after by collectors.

      Check out my hub on Belgian movie posters for some choice examples of their artwork –

    1. Hey Dan…thanks for three lists of movies. (1) Wow from 132nd to off the list….that is a sad fall for Mr. Ford. (2) That is actually a decent total from the new list….surprised that was not enough to keep him on the Top 1000. (3) The 2000 list shows the fruits of his labor…starring in movies for over 40 years gave him lots of Bacon branches. Speaking of Bacon…I saw one of his latest movies yesterday….Cop Car….not his best by far. (4) Ford at 40……good to know….I kind of like the fact that Sir Caine is keeping that top spot. Pretty sure our Top 3 are Caine, Hackman and Heston. As always…thanks for the input.

  5. I just saw Steve’s youtube video on the top 30 Glenn Ford movies. It is excellent.

    I left a message on it. Cannot believe it took me two days to find it.

    LOL.

    Really, Steve, these videos are delightful.

    1. Thanks Flora, looking at your youtube message I’ve done videos on your three favorite actors 1. Peck 2. Widmark 3. Ford. So which are your three favorite actresses? 🙂

      1. You’ve already done my three favourite ladies even if I have not commented on them:
