About this product
Product Information
One of John Ford's most cherished projects, THE QUIET MAN took years to finance but became one of his greatest box-office successes and an enduringly beloved classic. John Wayne stars as Sean Thornton, a retired American boxing champion trying to put tragedy behind him by returning to Innisfree, the bucolic Irish village of his birth. He purchases his birthplace from its current owner, enraging the wealthy and bellicose Red Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who had designs on the property. On arriving at his cottage, Thornton finds it being swept out by Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), a redheaded vision from whom he steals a not completely unwelcome kiss. After engaging in a subterfuge involving a horse race, some of the locals manage to get the disgruntled Red Will to allow his sister to be courted by the American. But the courtship ritual of the village is only the first of many local practices that the bewildered Thornton must endure if he is to have Mary Kate. Wayne gives a surprisingly nuanced performance as the fish out of water, and he is perfectly matched with the radiantly rambunctious O'Hara. The rest of the cast is splendid as well, and the lush color photography garnered an Academy Award for Winston Hoch. John Ford also won an Oscar for his directing, and it's impossible not to be charmed by the artistry with which he weaves his rollicking, robust tale.Product Identifiers

Timeless Classic
This movie is the best Wayne and O'Hara movie of all the times they stared together. Filmed on location and in color, great story line made it the best picture in 1952. John Ford's telling of this story will always be a classic and one of his best.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Caveat emptor
This movie is essentially an excellant movie and well worth watching and owning, with a warning. Be ABSOLUTELY sure you're buying a legitimate U.S. MANUFACTURED copy. This is the second copy I bought on ebay and only slightly better than the first which was from S. Korea. Color seems super-saturated, particularly the greens making everything seem very dark. It was only after I decided to watch the movie from a streaming that I could really see how bad the two I have disks of the movie really are.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic Movie : The Quiet Man
One of my all time favorite movies. It's a refreshing role for John Wayne, not the typecast westerns he is known for. His chemistry with Maureen O'Hara is so engaging and makes this a wonderful movie full of interesting and funny Irish characters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Amazing Movie!
Not the biggest fan of older movies but this one is a special case. It was truly one of John Wayne's better movies and as dramatic as it was it really offered a funny side of life in the 1920's Ireland.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A nostalgic view of the "Old Sod" Perfect for St.Patrick's Day
A great cast of golden age character actors back up Wayne and O'Hara in a film portraying the Irish-American ideal of an Irish village. I can't think of a better St.Patrick's Day film for an adult audience than The Quiet Man. The scenery is beautiful too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

"The Quiet Man" is one of the great films of all time - certainly John Wayne's best work.
It's a great classic film - unfortunately this DVD was clearly made from an old print, a dupe of a dupe, and does not have the full technicolor restoration you see in some of the special edition DVDs of "The Quiet Man." I bought this as a replacement for an excellent DVD I had lost - and was very disappointed with this as a replacement.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
