About this movie

A tired American ex-boxer returns to his native hamlet in Ireland to win the hand of a spirited young woman. He is confronted by strict local customs and the woman's belligerent brother. Set in the verdant Irish countryside, this lively film has beautiful scenery, brilliant repartee, and local charm.

I have watched this film so many times I have lost count. At this moment The Quiet Man is my favourite film of all time. John Wayne and Maureen Ohara at their best. This film was so good it featured in E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. It features the best cinema fight scene ever.
