The Quiet Man pwns!!!
This probably sounds weird coming from someone as young as me, but after the eighties Hollywood went into the toilet for the most part. No actor today can even hope to compare to John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, etc., etc, etc.!

I've never even heard of this movie. Looks like I'm going to have to rent it or buy it.

It's definitely one of my favorites. Any movie that teams the Duke with Maureen O'Hara, along with a touch of humor, can't help but be a good movie. They were a great team. Another movie where they co-starred is "McClintock".

"McClintock" is a great movie! My wife was not a fan of westerns or The Duke.. I had her watch McClintock with me.... Now she has no problem with either!

The Quiet Man
The movie was made near Galway in the early 1950's. It really is a piece of stage-Irish whimsy. Nobody in Ireland talks like they do in this movie. It was made for a specific audience, the large Irish American population of the US (though our Tourist Board saw an opportunity to use it as a "plug" for tourism.
These days, however, most Irish people in Ireland cringe when they see it!!

A lot of Irish members of the Quiet Man Fan Club would disagree with you, I'm afraid.

OMG! I'm with Cajunscot on this one. You most definitely need to buy it or rent it.

Better in B&W? Why? It was filmed in Technicolor specifically because they wanted the colors of Ireland!
