John Ford's The Quiet Man celebrates one of Hollywood's most romantic and enduring epics. The first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside, Ford richly imbued this masterpiece with his love of Ireland and its people.

Returning to the Irish town of his youth, he finds happiness when he falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Wistfully Pleasant Picture submitted by jacobpett on June 21, 2022, 9:14am Crazy to think that John Ford won four Best Director Oscars and it still feels like he hasn’t gotten enough respect. I’ll be thinking about that first shot of Maureen O’Hara for a very long time.
