For the love of Ireland
With the stunningly picturesque Ireland as its backdrop this is perhaps John Wayne's best non-western movie. With the beautiful Maureen O'Hara as his love interest it is a love story, a tale of redemption and a comedy all wrapped in one well written film. A witty script, well acted by a stellar support cast including Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond and especially by Victor Mclaglen as the 'villainous' Red Will Danaher. This DVD also has some wonderful Special Features including documentaries featuring Maureen O'Hara as well as a commentary by her and A Making of The Quiet Man by Lenord Maltin. This film has one of the best choreographed fight scenes in the history of movies between Wayne and McLaglen. It is an enjoyable rollicking yarn.
