The
Quiet Man—wisely cast John Wayne with Maureen O’Hara—tells a romantic
Irish story that is more than worth its watch.The movie shows some great Irish
countryside and gives a good look at Irish traditions related to courting and
marriage. The film will be enjoyed by seniors, but may lack the magic to
capture a younger viewing audience.
Storyline
A professional boxer returns to his home country and falls in love with a local
girl.
