365+ Movies In 365 Days: Day 321 -The Quiet Man


The quintessential "Hollywood" Irish movie tells the tale of an American, John Wayne, who returns home to Ireland to settle down. he carries with him a dark secret that may come between him and his chosen bride Mary Kate Danaher when he refuses to stand up and fight her bully of a brother Squire "Red" Will Danaher.

Directed by John Ford and also starring Maureen O'Hara, Barry Fitzgerald, Victor McLaglen, Mildred Natwick and Ward Bond the film is a delight from start to finish. I make it a tradition to watch it every St. Patrick's Day.

At The Movie House rating **** stars
