The Quiet Man (1952): John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and John Ford in Ireland


     Directed by John Ford, The Quiet Man (1952) captured the beauty of Ireland on film… and presented an another side of John Wayne. The story concerns an Irish-American boxer, retired after killing another fighter in the ring, who returns to his hometown in Ireland to reclaim his family's land. The Oscar-winning cinematography is brilliant, presenting the green Irish countryside in vibrant hues. John Wayne delivers one of his great non-Western performances. Maureen O'Hara is lovely. The supporting cast is great as well, including Victor McLaglen and Ward Bond.
