DVD Reviews of The Quiet Man (Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: The culture of Ireland brought home
Summary: 4 Stars
Many Irish left home and went to America as a result of the potato
blight which caused a famine. The family in question was a
one that had left after the father died and now, the son was returning.
The land was owned by a rich protestant woman ( read British here?)
and was being sought by the brother of the red haired woman
who has stricken the hero on his first look.
The girl's wealth was part of the wedding deal that was finally struck,
but the brother finding that he has been tricked goes back on the deal
at a price of 350 pounds.
In the end there is a fist fight that the whole county comes to bet on.
That the hero was an American prize fighter comes out slowly.
I liked this movie this third or fourth viewing
and god more out of it than ever before.
Irish customs are very old world when it comes to courting,
but love seems to have short circuited that here.
John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara went on to make a lot of films together
after this.
DVD Review: Maureen OHara commentary
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie was great as I already knew. The surprise was a second version of the movie with commentary by the last surviving cast member, Maureen OHara. She tells of the cast members and the making of the movie. Many minor players were relatives of the stars. It was very interesting and informative.DVD Review: The Quite Man DVD

Description of The Quiet Man (Collector's Edition)
Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 05/11/2004 Run time: 129 minutes Rating: NrBlarney and bliss, mixed in equal proportions. John Wayne plays an American boxer who returns to the Emerald Isle, his native land. What he finds there is a fiery prospective spouse (Maureen O'Hara) and a country greener than any Ireland seen before or since--it's no surprise The Quiet Man won an Oscar for cinematography. It also won an Oscar for John Ford's direction, his fourth such award. The film was a deeply personal project for Ford (whose birth name was Sean Aloysius O'Fearna), and he lavished all of his affection for the Irish landscape and Irish people on this film. He also stages perhaps the greatest donnybrook in the history of movies, an epic fistfight between Wayne and the truculent Victor McLaglen--that's Ford's brother, Francis, as the elderly man on his deathbed who miraculously revives when he hears word of the dustup. Barry Fitzgerald, the original Irish elf, gets the movie's biggest laugh when he walks into the newlyweds' bedroom the morning after their wedding, and spots a broken bed. The look on his face says everything. The Quiet Man isn't the real Ireland, but as a delicious never-never land of Ford's imagination, it will do very nicely. --Robert Horton
