Yes it was quiet a movie.
Enjoy the movie every St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve visited Cong, Ireland where it was filmed.
Is it quite manly?
Yes. I surely do.
John Wayne was quite quiet in that movie.
Quiet. Is what you meant. I make the same error at times.
I recall seeing that John Wayne , Maureen O’Sullivan movie years ago in black & white. I was a fun movie to watch.
Both stars were very young and full of energy.
There is a certain aspect of
“Taming of The Shrew” in it, at least it seemed that way to me. Richard Burton and Liz Taylor did that years later.
My Irish friends from Ireland tell me that on St. Paddy’s day they have their parties with food, drink and two movies they play back to back - “Darby O’Gill and the Little People” and “Quiet Man.”
Hillary Rodham - Quite a Man!
Watched tonight on TCM!!! Great Movie!!! probably will watch again on demand!!
I don’t know about the Quite Man, but The Quiet Man has the best fight scene of any movie, ever.
Trivia: At the film’s conclusion, after the credits, we see Kate and Sean standing in their garden waving good-bye. Maureen O’Hara turns to John Wayne and whispers something in his ear, evoking a priceless reaction from Wayne. What was said was known only to O’Hara, Wayne and director John Ford. In exchange for saying this unscripted bit of text, O’Hara insisted that the exact line never be disclosed by any involved parties. In her memoirs she says that she refused to say the line at first as she “couldn’t possibly say that to Duke”, but Ford insisted, claiming he needed a genuine shock reaction from Wayne. The line remains a mystery to this day.
Barry Fitzgerald reminds me of one of my uncles.
I’ve not seen it in some time, pretty sure it’s around here on disk, or maybe tape. I particularly like that about a quarter of the movie is a fistfight, okay, the length is probably an exaggeration, but it’s a great one.
Hubby and I did watch it last night.
We watched “The Quiet Man” as we do most years.
Watched it last night. One of my favorite John Wayne films.
Great movie.
In my top 5 of all time.

Yes. And “Gettysburg” beginning on July 1st. Most years.
