Clip of the Day

"The Quiet Man is a 1952 American Technicolor romantic comedy-drama film. It was directed by John Ford and stars John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and Barry Fitzgerald. The storyline is an Irish village version of "The Taming of the Shrew," the tamer being an ex-pugilist Sean Thornton (John Wayne) retired to the land of his fathers where he purchases "that little place across the brook, that humble cottage."

But no sooner does he arrives on a soft spring morning than he falls in love with Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara) a beautiful but poor maiden, and younger sister of ill-tempered "Red" Will Danaher. The riotous relationship that forms between Sean and Mary Kate, punctuated by Will's pugnacious attempts to keep them apart, form the main plot, with Sean's past as the dark undercurrent.


"Probably the best movie in the world,as Orson Welles may have said during his later work doing lager adverts for carlsberg. Watch the Clip. HC
