Ron has mentioned this movie on several occasions, often humming the song from it.
Features John Wayne as an Irish ex-boxer who retires to Ireland in search of a proper wife.

It's one of those movies, along with The Searchers and True Grit, that put a lie to the notion that John Wayne was not a good actor.
Limited range, true, but not bad.

The Quiet Man is one of my all-time favorites! My ex-wife took my DVD when she left and I still haven't gotten around to replacing it.
Thanks for the heads-up! :clap:

Best Fight scene Ever! Pissed they didn't play Donovan's Reef at Xmas.

I really like the Quiet Man, but I wouldn't argue the premise that Wayne was not a good actor.
