Featuring Maureen O’Hara, Martin Scorsese and a narration by Niall Tóibín, this documentary is a celebration of Ford and his vision of Ireland on the 60th anniversary of the release of ‘The Quiet Man’, John Ford’s Oscar-winning romantic comedy stars John Wayne as John Thornton, an American boxer who, after a professional tragedy, returns to his native Ireland to retire.

The studio, Republic Pictures, would only finance the film, Ford’s personal project, if he and the three leads agreed to make a sure-fire hit first – the result was Rio Grande., Returning to the Ireland of his birth, director John Ford fashions a irresistable valentine to the “Auld Sod” in The Quiet Man. Irish-American boxer John Wayne, recovering from the trauma of having accidentally killed a man in the ring, arrives in the Irish village where he was born. Hoping to bury his past and settle down to a life of tranquility, Wayne has purchased the home of his birth from wealthy local widow Mildred Natwick, a transaction that has incurred the wrath of pugnacious squire Victor McLaglen, who coveted the property for himself. By and by, Wayne falls in love with McLaglen’s beautiful, high-spirited sister Maureen O’Hara. Her insistence that Wayne conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner-with puckish matchmaker Barry Fitzgerald along for the ride as “chaperone”–is but one obstacle to their future happiness: the other is McLaglen, who spitefully refuses to give his consent to his sister’s marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to Wayne. Wayne could care less about dowries, but the tradition-bound Maureen refuses to consummate her marriage until McLaglen pays up. Under any other circumstances, Wayne would have punched out the bullying McLaglen long ago, but ever since his tragedy in the ring he has been reluctant to fight. Local priest Ward Bond conspires with several locals to trick McLaglen into paying his due. They intimate that widow Natwick, for whom McLaglen carries a torch, will marry the old brute if he’ll give his consent to the marriage and fork over the dowry. But McLaglen finds he’s been tricked and the situation remains at a standoff, with the frustrated Wayne locked out of his wife’s bedroom. When Maureen accuses him of being a coward and walks out on him, our hero can stand no more. He marches Maureen to McLaglen’s home, indicating that he plans to whale the tar out of both brother and sister. As a huge and appreciative crowd gathers the cornered McLaglen truculently tosses the money in Wayne’s direction. Big John hands the bills to Maureen, just as she knew he would, and she ceremoniously destroys the money, just as he knew je would. Having proven their love for each other, there is nothing left for Wayne and Maureen to do but head home and perform their nuptual duties. But first there’s the matter of giving McLaglen the thrashing he deserves….and it is this spectacular donnybrook, which covers several acres of land and at least two “pit stops” so that the combatants can quench their thirst, which convinces Natwick that the defeated McLaglen is truly worthy of her love (her logic is on a par with everyone else’s in the film!) Though it tends to perpetuate the myth that all true Irishmen live only to fight, drink and make love, The Quiet Man is grand and glorious fun, enacted with gusto by a largely Hibernian cast and directed with loving care by a master of his craft. Written by Frank Nugent and graced with a lilting musical score by Victor Young, the film won Oscars for Archie Stout’s Technicolor photography and for John Ford’s direction-a real coup for “poverty row” Republic Pictures.
