Customer Reviews

Rural Irish life in the 1920s.

A mysterious yank (The Quiet Man) arrives on the train and asks for directions to Innisfree. This quiet man turns out to be returning to his home after a hard life in America. There, he purchases his former home to the chagrin of the neighbor, “Red” Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen); Danaher covets the house himself. To add insult to injury, it looks like Danaher’s sister Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara) may be destined to marry our quiet man Sean Thornton (John Wayne) We learn a few Irish no-nos, such as you do not play patty fingers with the holy water. I will not go through the whole story as it is fun to watch it unfold. However, there is a good example of horse sense as the horse knows to stop at the pub for Michaleen Oge Flynn (Barry Fitzgerald), who has a very dry throat. The scenery along the bay and the fields give the story a run for its money. Be aware that different distributors have different qualities of this product, so the rating is for the Movie alone, not the packaging.
