Summary: Quiet Man video
Comment: John Wayne make many films that covered the full spectrum of what Hollywood dictated we should see. John Wayne was classified as a "western movie star" but if you ever have the chance, I would suggest his non-western were as good, if not better than the western that he is know for by the general public. At the top of my lists is the Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara. This is my all time favorite John Wayne flic and there is not a Saint Patrick's day that it is not shown at our household.

Summary: A must watch every year
Comment: I have to watch this movie once a year - and sometimes more. The beautiful scenery is a backdrop for a charming movie that is feisty and fun. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are perfect in their parts, but I admit my favorite character is Michaleen Flynn played by Barry Fitzgerald, a.k.a. matchmaker, a.k.a. best patron of the local pub. Even the priest and the pastor of the local churches show their human and humorous sides in this film. I've enjoyed it since I was a child.

Editorial Reviews:

Blarney and bliss, mixed in equal proportions. John Wayne plays an American boxer who returns to the Emerald Isle, his native land. What he finds there is a fiery prospective spouse (Maureen O'Hara) and a country greener than any Ireland seen before or since--it's no surprise The Quiet Man won an Oscar for cinematography. It also won an Oscar for John Ford's direction, his fourth such award. The film was a deeply personal project for Ford (whose birth name was Sean Aloysius O'Fearna), and he lavished all of his affection for the Irish landscape and Irish people on this film. He also stages perhaps the greatest donnybrook in the history of movies, an epic fistfight between Wayne and the truculent Victor McLaglen--that's Ford's brother, Francis, as the elderly man on his deathbed who miraculously revives when he hears word of the dustup. Barry Fitzgerald, the original Irish elf, gets the movie's biggest laugh when he walks into the newlyweds' bedroom the morning after their wedding, and spots a broken bed. The look on his face says everything. The Quiet Man isn't the real Ireland, but as a delicious never-never land of Ford's imagination, it will do very nicely. --Robert Horton
