John Ford's first feature-length production was Straight Shooting (August 1917), which is also his earliest complete surviving film as director, and one of only two survivors from his twenty-five-film collaboration with Harry Carey. In making the film Ford and Carey ignored studio orders and turned in five reels instead of two, and it was only through the intervention of Carl Laemmle (founder of Universal Studios) that the film escaped being cut for its first release, although it was subsequently edited down to two reels for re-release in the late 1920s.
