Newly re-mastered in HD from a 4K SCAN of the ORIGINAL NEGATlVE. John Ford's The Quiet Man celebrates one of Hollywood's most romantic and enduring epics. The first American feature to be fiImed in lreIand's picturesque countryside, Ford richly imbued this masterpiece with his love of lreIand and its people. Sean Thornton (John Wayne) in an American boxer who swears off fighting after he accidentaIly kills an opponent in the ring. Returning to the Irish town of his youth, he purchases the home of his birth and finds happiness when he falIs in Iove with the fiery Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara). But her insistence that Sean conduct his courtship in a proper lrish manner with matchmaker Barry FitzgeraId aIong for the ride as "chaperone" is but one obstacle to their future happiness: the other is her brother (Victor McLagIen), who spitefully refuses to give his consent to their marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to the husband. Sean could care Iess about dowries, he wouId've punched out the buIlying McLaglen Iong ago if he hadn't sworn off fighting. But when Mary Kate accuses him of being a coward and waIks out on him, Sean is finaIly ready to take matters into his own hands, the resuIting fistfight erupts into the longest brawl ever fiImed, foIIowed by one of the most memorable reconciliations in movie history! The Quiet Man won a total of two Academy Awardsr including Best Director (Ford) and Best Cinematography and received five more nomination including Best Picture, Best ScreenpIay and Best Supporting Actor (McLagIen). |
