Classic John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Really like the Blu-ray transfer.

John Wayne - Maureen O'Hara. Cast of many. Ireland. Classic.

A substancial (though not up to Criterion standards) release of a great film.

When most people think of John Ford and/or John Wayne, chances are it's in the context of the Movie Western, but for me, I always end up thinking of The Quiet Man. In many ways, I think this film represents the high water mark for both of their careers. John Wayne plays a boxer who, after a freak accident resulted in his opponent dying in the ring, has returned to his ancestral home in Ireland to retreat from society. He soon finds, however, that doing so in a country where everyone seems to speak their minds and deal with conflict head on is easier said than done. He soon falls in love, but when her brother denies her the dowry she is owed, Wayne finds himself being pushed into a confrontation that will force him to face thew demons he was trying to escape. Out of context, some material may seem dated and even offensive, with the Irish characters often playing like stereotypes and everyone having an oddly casual attitude towards the use of physical force against women. In context, however, everything works like gangbusters and serves the central conflict found within Wane's character. It's wonderful to have a copy of the film that has been treated so lovingly. The copious special features are stellar and the film hasd never looked better on a TV screen. It's a perfect opportunity for people to revisit, or discover, one of the great films in history.

I am a JOHN WAYNE fan. I love his acting. The way he plays the character.

I can't say enough about the Duke. When on screen he's captivating and alongside his pal Mrs. O'hara they light up the fireworks. Yup, you can see why, after watching this film, many thought they were involved in a love affair because of the off the charts chemistry. Highly recommended!!
