My grand father was an extra in the quiet man.there is a foto of him playing bag pipes In front of john wayne and john ford on the set .I've visited all the places they filmed in
It has been 70 years since the film came out and I am still watching it, thanks to my Dad. This was one of his favorite movies and now it is one of mine.
When I was seven years old I was in a bait shop in the microscopic town of Web Lake Wisconsin, and John Wayne walked in. I never saw my father gobsmacked before or since.
A film that was special between my dad and myself.He has recently died and now that he is gone it has even more significance to me.Thank you for this documentary. It was great and brought back special memories.
lovely documentary 👍🏻☘, thanks God, there are still some trad. Irish cottages left 😍, one I tell you is in Ballywalter, The Neale .. beautiful spot.. it looks like some hundred years back in time !!! 💚
The golden days of Hollywood are gone forever. John Ford and Maureen o Hara if they were alive today, would not want to have anything to do with Hollywood today.
Restore this old abandoned ruin, to its right and former glory,for here within its fallen grace,unfinished still,,,its story.............I write in reference to the neglected Quiet Man Cottage in Maam...Johnny.
radiofones Excuse late reply,mmmm,even with inflation???lol...They must be building an extension out the back,a hotel maybe?Hope they keep it simple and not rip off the fans.Interesting to see if greed will raise it's head,like a salmon in the nearby stream...
Thank you radiofones for the link. This is the news all fans have been hoping for and finally it is going to happen. I must again walk over that old footbridge near the cottage and ''talk a little treason'',,,, Barry Fitzgerald.
I was crazy about this film for years and eventually in the 70s discovered Cong were it was made. I went into a shop that was the Pub in the film and talked to Jack Murphy, who sold me a real blackthorn shillelagh stick like the one Danagher had in the film, which turned out to be something else painted black!.
Everytime I pass Macy's in NYC I think of Maureen O'Hare in "Miracle on 34th Street"...That's were they made that movin. Alot was done inside of Macy's at night time they filmed inside the store when it was closed..
TheMrgaztop my father in law mr Joseph Lynch drove j Wayne victor mc Laughlin and Barry Fitzgerald on this movie.and was at the buying of the horses for this movie.he was employed at the time by count Cyril mc cormack
The theme music and the stunning scenery made the Quiet Man film so memorable The story was pretty much stage Irish of its time. One can't unsee Wayne dragging Maureen O Hara by the hair, or her offering him a rod to beat her. M O H was an undoubted beauty, but she had to play the part of a skittish slightly wild Irish lassie " peeping out from behind The Gate" scene at Wayne which was not very edifying The pub brawl was not Irish cultural norm ,,, hopefully nor the brawl by the river Cripes hopefully not... Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, beautiful girl, John Wayne was a typecast cowboy, but his presence in Ireland caused a sensation in the 50s Stage Irish ,, but enjoyable

The Quiet Man is my go to Oscar winning comfort film. Just love it every time I watch it. Such a lovely and entertaining tale.

Maureen o Hara if they were alive today, would not want to have anything to do with Hollywood today.

They've got 4 and a half million £ so far and apparently it's not enough to rebuild a cottage? Something fishy going on there!

@@radiofones that’s because Red Will Danaher bid 4 million and ten !!!!
I was crazy about this film for years and eventually in the 70s discovered Cong were it was made.

Aah, you bought a genuine fake.
My favorite film.
I loved all the guys who hung around in the pubs in the movie waiting for someone to buy rounds for everybody. I find that very humorous 😅
Its the same in reality Ireland to this day.
My favorite John Wayne movie... and that's saying something!
I wish a director would make a movie set in this time of old Ireland today.
Everytime I pass Macy's in NYC I think of Maureen O'Hare in "Miracle on 34th Street"...That's were they made that movin. Alot was done inside of Macy's at night time they filmed inside the store when it was closed..
The best version of all times!
My prefered movie, no doubt! When a Celt lives far away!
Thank you so much for this brilliant documentary, do you know if it is available to buy anywhere ?
I was in the Pat Cohen Bar in 2018….it’s a bar, not a grocery store!
It was a Grocery Shop owned by Jack Murphy, not long ago the new owners got a Pub License and turned it into the Replica.
We will miss you ms ohara
Accept it for what it is. A bit of history.
TheMrgaztop my father in law mr Joseph Lynch drove j Wayne victor mc Laughlin and Barry Fitzgerald on this movie.and was at the buying of the horses for this movie.he was employed at the time by count Cyril mc cormack
May a time I went on the old trains growing up in Dublin
Thanks very much for posting this one. I am collating an archive regarding the film. Could you provide a copy without your logo attached at all?
mmmm such a history, i loved the " i learn to drink with john wayne part" and its gonna be us girl.
As for I learned to drink with John Wayne? according to Maureen O'Hara that guy was'nt involved.
radiofones No way really!? wow anyway love the movie! :)
@radiofones ...He did learn to drink with John Wayne,,,,Maureen O'Hara told me she was just taking the Piss out of you
The theme music and the stunning scenery made the Quiet Man film so memorable
The story was pretty much stage Irish of its time.
One can't unsee Wayne dragging Maureen O Hara by the hair, or her offering him a rod to beat her.
M O H was an undoubted beauty, but she had to play the part of a skittish slightly wild Irish lassie " peeping out from behind The Gate" scene at Wayne which was not very edifying
The pub brawl was not Irish cultural norm ,,, hopefully nor the brawl by the river
Cripes hopefully not...
Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, beautiful girl,
John Wayne was a typecast cowboy, but his presence in Ireland caused a sensation in the 50s
Stage Irish ,, but enjoyable
Filme maravilhoso.Encatntador
My Irish mom looked just like Maureen O'Hara.
You can grab a pint and a nice meal there now.. no longer a general store
