I think my father was afraid to ever take me to another movie ever after we saw this at the drive in. I joined the Fenians that night and never shut up about them ever again. God bless Dad, and Glory I to the bold Fenian men!
I dont know exactly what the Fennians believe politically, I've heard they're socialist or marxists which is one of the dumbest forms of government, but I like the idea of a United Ireland Free of the Redcoats, honestly I think it'd be cooler and work better with a High King again, mostly cause it wouldn't be communist and just think of that title, it just sounds cool. Doesn't have to work the same as it did originally, but really it's not my business because I'm American, part of my family is Celtic but our last name comes from Wales so Idk if we were ever from Ireland.

Ken curtis was a great singer he took over for frank Sinatra when Sinatra left the tommy Dorsey orchestra band back in 1944, he also sang with Dick hames back in 1945 and he was festus on Gunsmoke, what a great voice R.I.P. MR KEN CURTIS GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL.
I have Irish on my Mothers side and get emotional looking at this scene. Beautifully sung and J Carroll Naish's reaction is just wonderful. The genius of director John Ford.
J. Carol Naish. Starred in this. He also played in very early Batman serials. He was said to have played all nationalities in cinema: except his own. Irish.
The officer with the eyepatch was one of the most decorated US Matines in WWII. One of a handful of Marines that fought in Europe. I think he won 2-3 Navy Crosses. He also was in the OSS, the predecessor of the CIA. I know his name, now you have your homework. *Peter J. Ortiz

Ich konnte es kaum erwarten das es Samstag Abend wurde. Dann bei den Großeltern den obligatorischen Western schauen, mit all den Fimgrössen . Lang ist es her. Schöne Kindheit.
Beautiful.... didn't know Ken Curtis Was so handsome and a eerie soft beautiful voice. The whole group is great in harmonizing. People surprise ya sometimes. Love the movie too. I hate movies have lost beauty, morals and Values......
Ireland needs her son's and daughter's to up and be counted more than ever. The anti European eu,un and their treasonous ngos, borderless charities, destroyed and their treasonous politicians, media members, high ranking police / Judicial officials need to be put on trial for crimes against Ireland / Europe and publicly hung.
Has anyone else noticed the missing verse? Something about a yelled dog and a spotted hog, I’m asking because I just saw the movie and that verse was in there.
Good old Irish rebel song. Was actually written in 1916 during the Easter Rising but John Ford (son of Irish immigrants) liked it enough to use it in a movie set much earlier during the Indian Wars...
Forget the beauty of the song remember what its about, Sheridan loved the song as his family had been driven out of Ireland, listen to Michael mac larrimoirs recitation of Robert emmets speech from the Dock before emmet was hung drawn and quartered in Dublin 1803, and yes they castrated him hung him cut his legs arms off, but this song is about his generation, listen to his speech in which before he's executed he says he wished to obtain the same the same rights and liberties for Ireland that Washington had gained for America then you'll understand both the beauty of the song and it's meaning to Sheridan. T
Phil Sheridan Died in 1888 the song was written by Peadar Kearney, in 1916 at the time of the Rising of 1916 to evoke memories of the Fenian Rising of 1867. So he could not have loved this song! I suspect that he might well have loved it had he heard it but.....
@@williamjackson5942 you're right but I love it genuinely thought it dated back to those days grew up with this film and assumed it was showing a fact. But if I'd paused for a moment then I couldn't have been right as the fenian movement didn't get underway until the late 1860s in anycase with the dynamite campaign in England, so yeap your absolutely right. But I still like it and the sentiment conveyed in the film, I'm s sucker for john Wayne. If he listened to anything it most likely be Napper Tandy with ref to 1798. T
The actor who played Sheridan played every possible ethnic person from Italian to Native from Chinese, Russian, Arab you name it yet Joseph Patrick Carrol Naish great star of film and stage was as Irish as " Paddy's pig" as the expression went. His dark celtic complexion, " the Old Look" some used to call it, lent him to roles playing many different ethnic characters during a long career.

John Ford made great movies. He often seemed to insist on over-acting certain scenes. His irish- are- superior- to- everybody theme could get a little tiresome as well. Critique over. I love his movies & will watch one whenever it comes on. His use of The Sons of the Pioneers in several of his westerns added much to already fabulous filmwork.
Not entirely sure if I have Irish heritage - it is very possible, judging by one of the the names on my dad’s side. Anyway, my gramma loved these movies.
McLaglen was not in fact Irish (he was English by origin and had Scottish ancestry, the family name was originally McLachlan) but in his later career he so frequently played Irish characters that he became typecast as one.
It would have been completely out of character for illiterate, back-woodsy Festus to break into song and sing like Ken Curtis. It worked in comedies like Gomer Pyle USMC (Jim Neighbors) and with Frank Fontaine's character Crazy Guggenheim on The Jackie Gleason Show, but not in a period Western drama like Gunsmoke. When Ken Curtis sang in Gunsmoke or called a square dance he did so in character. He was an actor, after all.
Methinks this film is set before the events depicted in the song. The Fenian rebellion was in 1867, so 50 years later would have been 1917, just after the Rising. Perhaps the song was intended shame the many thousands who joined the British army to fight for Belgium, whilst others fought for their own country’s freedom at home.
victor was born in turnbridge wells england his brother was a vicar but the best professional irishman on screen. ken curtis was John fird's son in law .
John Ford favored the Sons of the Pioneers and choose them for his cavalry trio. The solo here is by Ken Curtis ("Gunsmoke"), who was Ford's son-in-law.

And also a lot of Fenians went to Scotland after the 67 Uprising! 🍀🏴🇮🇪🍀👊🏻
Wow! Ken Curtis, Victor McLaglen, J. Carrol Naish, John Wayne, & the exquisite Maureen O'Hara. What a cast! 🎞
The acting is better than most modern movies - just the reactions.
My gramma loved these movies.
That was absolutely beautiful. ❤ Ken Curtis was so talented.
A song of tragedy, a history of glory.Love from China❤
Never heard a better version of this song. This is my favorite.
Kathy Jordan has an amazing version too
Agreed!
Judy Collins. Great version.
they didnt sing 2 verses of the song
Glory O Glory O to the bold Fenian men 💚🍀🇮🇪
Ken Curtis a vastly underated singer to my mind he would hold his own with the best of the crooners.
So many good actors in this movie. ❤❤

Haw Haw Haw Charlie McCorry in the Searchers, Dermot Fahy in the Quiet Man. Fine actor, Great Voice.
Who is still listening to this in the year 2735?
2020 September. I watched this movie SO many times when I was a kid!!!
I have Irish on my Mothers side and get emotional looking at this scene. Beautifully sung and J Carroll Naish's reaction is just wonderful. The genius of director John Ford.
I could listen to this every day . . . such a beautiful song sung by such beautiful voices, especially Ken Curtis!
The most powerful version of this fantastic song I've ever heard
Ken Curtis had such a beautiful voice.
I could listen to him all day long.
J. Carol Naish. Starred in this. He also played in very early Batman serials. He was said to have played all nationalities in cinema: except his own. Irish.
Thanks for this.
It's easy to see why Quincannon gets choked up. Great version of this song.
Still listening to this in 2022!
The FINEST rendition of this song EVER, with Ken Curtis singing.
who ever thought festus haggen could sing so pretty
Ken Curtis hatte eine tolle Stimme.Er war wunderbar auch dieser Film hat mir gut gefallen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I learned something new today
What a song! What a crooner! What a movie!
I took a listen to the other styles of this song and this is the best...
Brilliant irish and proud..UNITED IRELAND.
One Island, One Nation!
Shit country
@@ReidandShaneEire go brea
'Twas down by the glenside, I met an old woman
A-plucking young nettles, she ne’er saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
'Tis fifty long years since I saw the moon beaming
On strong manly forms, on eyes with hope gleaming
I see them again, now, in all my dreaming
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.
[When I was a young girl, their marching and drilling
Awoke in the glenside sounds awesome and thrilling
They loved dear old Ireland, to die they were willing
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men.
Some died by the glenside, some died near a stranger
And wise men have told us their cause was a failure
But they stood by old Ireland and never feared danger
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men]
I passed on my way, God be praised that I met her
Be life long or short, sure I'll never forget her
We may have great men, but we'll never have better
Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men
Nice one..thanks for this..The Peadar Kearney classic
Cheers pal! 👍🏻🍀🏴🇺🇸🇮🇪🍀
Ken Curtis, was wonderful. Lots of trivia with him...
Also, Maureen O’Hara was an absolute dime.
Look at the poignant reactions of all the officers, especially the general, and Maureen O'Hara. Directer John Ford knew what he was doing.
Ich konnte es kaum erwarten das es Samstag Abend wurde. Dann bei den Großeltern den obligatorischen Western schauen, mit all den Fimgrössen . Lang ist es her. Schöne Kindheit.
God 🙏 theses actors.
Beautiful .It was a verry good western . In France we love John Wayne .
Loved the u.s. calvary song at the end too...
John Wayne: "THE REGIMENTAL SINGERS!" 😂😂😂

One of my favorite song in the movies.
Out of somewhere one suddenly remembers such singing… marvellous voice& harmonies in a great film. Subbed.
OMG!!! I LOVE THIS FILM AND ALL STAR CAST, AND ALL THESE SONGS, SO AWESOME!!!
This is my neighbors favorite song Wither they like it or not
God bless Those Bold Fenian Men.
I never knew Festus Haggen was such a great singer!
This was Ken Curtis's best
The Joyce's will never die
That guy with the eye-patch was the sort of hero in real life that if they made a movie about him nobody would believe it. Worth looking up.
Bold Fenian Men
Such a lovely song
Loved Ken Curtis!!!!
Top notch singing
Great Song and a Great Movie!

A song from a different era for sure ,so emotional and with such deep and soulful meaning - beautiful.

Not a mention of Ireland in the lyrics in the movie! It would be kind to acknowledge where the song came from!

The song is about Eire and her struggle against the English oppressors - who cares where the singer is from you nonse
For you who don't know,Festus from Gunsmoke had a he'll of a voice!
Didn't not know he could sing wow 2019 he's good. Don't know why Festus didn't sing more
He did in singing cowboy films from the 1940s

The fiim is set in the late 1870's,so the events depicted in this song would still be relatively fresh in the memory of Sheridan et al.
Hahaaaa.....love when Victor McLaglen (Quintcanon) tears up during the song....a true Irishman he is...
He was a very convincing Irishman, despite being English of South African extraction.
