John Wayne is most remembered for his roles in westerns. This movie shows another side of the Duke. Directed by John Ford, an Irishman himself, and including many of Ford's regulars. You have frequent Wayne costar, Maureen O'Hara (looking beautiful as ever), Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond, and Barry Fittzgerald. Wayne plays a former boxer who blinded a man in one of his bouts. He comes to this small town in Ireland to get away from this issue, and is looked at suspiciously by the various townspeople Smitten with O"Hara, they get married, but she is unable to consummate the marriage because he won't accept her dowry. This is a classic Ford movie, and a loving tribute to his Irish heritage. Wayne and the rest of the cast are perfect.

The Quiet Man is a very entertaining movie, being a big John Wayne fan it was nice seeing him in something besides a western. The only complaint I have with this movie was at times watching it the color was not very good and the picture was out of focus but being a used movie I suppose that the chance you take when you buy even though it said it was in very good condition.

This is a very good movie, and I believe one of John Wayne's best. In this film Wayne portrays an ex-prize fighter (Sean Thornton) from Chicago. When an opponent is killed in the ring, he retires. His ancestry leads him back to Ireland and he purchases his birthplace from the current owner which enrages the wealthy Red Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen) who had plans to purchase the property for a long time. When Sean arrives at his new home, there is a beautiful read-headed woman sweeping out the place, Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara). After stealing a kiss, which is not actually refused, Sean instantly falls in love with her. Mary Kate's brother is required to give his consent if Sean will be allowed to court her, and he is not having anything to do with it. This movie is a comedy of old world customs and traditions that have long ago been abandoned in America, and lead up to the hilarious conclusion of this wonderfully human film. This one is a keeper!Read full review
This is one of the best films with John Wayne and Maureen Ohara staring in the Quiet Man. They both gave very believable acting and the whole story was captivating and enertaining, The fight scene with Victor McLaughlin was great but even without any visible swelling or blood, it still was good. The Irish setting was a definite plus.

It is truly a classic! I've enjoyed this movie for four decades and have worn out one VHS tape version and one DVD version. A number of John Wayne's favorite actors team up for this story of an American returning to his Irish heritage, falling for a local colleen whose brother prevents their courtship.Eventually the whole town of Innisfree gets involved in the conflict.
