The Quiet Man (1952)
Top of the morning to you, Old Soul Family-- and a Happy St. Paddy's Day!! ☘️ We are welcoming this springtime holiday with a tale that celebrates the joy and beauty of Ireland! This picture is STUNNING...and a huge departure from John Wayne and John Ford's typical collaborations. This Western team explores the juxtaposition of cultures and traditions for an American abroad, all while highlighting an amazing ensemble of Irish artists. We also explore the realities of Ireland's 1920s history and how themes of fighting anchor this film. Between the gorgeous visuals and stellar performances from stars like Maureen O'Hara, this is one picture you don't want to miss. Sláinte!
