Great film , Wayne wisely got out of the way and let a spectacular supporting cast steal the show. This is one of those movies you finish no matter where it is when you tune in.
My favorite movie. Barry Fitzgerald is gold. So many great quotes in this movie. "So the I.R.A.'s in this too?" "Not a scorched stone of your fine house would be standing." Love "In Harm's Way" too.
one of my favorite movie, but the final fight scene is the best part of the movie, it brings it all together.. When Sean and Danaher gain each other respect during the fight. The bar scene you can see it. again great movie. they dont make them like that anymore.
In the 1940s, Director John Ford got the idea to make a movie based on "The Quiet Man," a short story written by Maurice Walsh that appeared in a 1933 edition of "The Saturday Evening Post" He made a handshake agreement with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara to star in film, then took his proposal to various major Hollywood studios - none of whom were interested. After a few years, John Wayne suggested they pitch the project to Herbert J. Yates, Republic's studio chief. Republic was one of the lesser studios in Hollywood, producing low-budget B-Westerns, mostly in b&w. Wayne knew Yates personally - having made several films for Republic in the 1930s. But when he approached Yates, the producer said the story was "...a silly Irish tale that would make no money." But he agreed to bankroll the film if Ford, Wayne and O'Hara would produce a Western to help offset the anticipated loss. The film was "Rio Grande" which premiered in 1950. "The Quiet Man" was budgeted at $1,750,000 ($22,155,217.84 in 2023 dollars) - a huge outlay for a small studio like Republic. In order to help defray costs, Ford, Wayne and O'Hara agreed to salary cuts, and other methods were employed to keep costs down. But Ford knew where to spend money where it counted - the film was photographed on a high quality color stock, as opposed to a lesser, cheaper stock normally employed by Republic. Released in 1952, "The Quiet Man" was a huge financials success - netting $3.8 million dollars ($43,751,479.25 in 2023). It earned Republic Pictures only Academy Award nomination for "Best Picture" and stands as a true labor of love from Ford to the public.
Considering the original short story was nothing to to write home about and rather dreary, he really made something quite extraordinary out of it. It's always been one of my favorites.
@@tsugima6317 Well now, I read the short story before I saw the film. I enjoyed it enough it made me want to see the movie. When I finally did, I realized that this was a rare instance in which the film turned out better than the source material. Everything Ford added was a plus, instead of padding, that most directors would have done.
@@cjmarshall0221Your takes on it are interesting. I had much the opposite reaction. I loved how Shawn put Big Liam down very quickly and almost effortlessly when he finally committed to it. There was foreshadowing of the outcome and very satisfying to read it. The movie diminished Shawn imo. However, I can understand the entertainment value of the brawl that lasts hours, repeatedly having water thrown in their faces to "revive" them whether they needed it or not, the guy making book on the fight, people coming from far and wide to see it, etc. If I hadn't read the short story first I'd have found the movie to be all one could want. I guess it just made more of an impression on me the way the "fight" went in the short story. I love it when the bad guys get theirs, and the way it was written was, to me, perfect.
"You do that, lad. It's your duty." My husband and I use that line all the time, whenever one of us states an obvious, unnecessary task that needs doing. "I'm running up to the store." "You do that, lass. It's your duty!"
Keep in mind, back in the early 1900's Victor Maclaghlan was a very capable heavyweight boxer who went ten rounds to a "no-decision" with the then World Champion Jack Johnson.
I am still waiting for someone to pen "Quiet Man 2". I can't imagine who can play an older Sean Thornton or Mary Kate. Kids? I always imagine a boy and girl. Did Will Danaher married the Old Widow Sarah. I want to hear the rest of the story. (~~, )
just watched this on another channel.over a million views, and the COMMENTS TURNED OFF!!!! what's wrong wtih people? and the video quality on this channel is soooo much better!!! Thank you for putting this up. New Sub!!! Keep up the great work.
When you really look at it, not a lot of punches actually connect. There's plenty of sound effects, but the crowd obscures most of the fight.This and Kong vs. T. Rex are my favorite Hollywood fights.

And John Wayne never faked any of his punches, when he filmed The Cowboys he put Bruce Dern in the hospital from the beating he handed to him in the fist fight.

I love how the one guy, with no lines, known only as 'the Major' is the only one completely disinterested in the fight. The presumption being, 'the Major' has seen a few fights of his own...
Ok watching this too many times ( if thar is possible) question . If the father is with the bishop. Who yells Sargent at the beginning of the fight. Love the movie just a fun question. Happy St Patricks to all

Brilliant film to watch two brilliant actors in this movie and a fantastic supporting cast as well great cinematoghy as well my favourite part of the film by John ford is the fighting scene
"It was one of the few films that Republic filmed in Technicolor; most of the studio's other color films were made in a more economical process known as Trucolor." Per wiki, so YMMV.
Nope.... Maureen O Sullivan in her green dress with her red hair was a real treat for the eyes. Saw it first in black and white on a black and white early TV, and when I saw it in color I was flabbergasted.
Never seen 2 guys fight that were barely breathing during an entire 5 minute brawl, rolling and falling all over the place, and getting punched over and over in the face. And one of them is supposed to be a retired pro boxer that hits so hard he killed a man in the ring. Fight should have been over in 1 minute, 2 minutes and the other guy would either have a broken jaw or be dead. But they're just breathing normally getting beers and talking like nothing just happened. Bizarre how silly old movies were. To be fair, Rocky was a ridiculously unrealistic portrayal of boxing as well. But at least the characters were breathing hard, sweating and looked like they took a punch......
Wayne, while a very popular actor is a C- actor at best. He simply fit a persona popular with the masses. The credit for all his great films go to the unsung heroes of movies, those who right, direct, and create the choreography.
And? What actor in action movies could you not say the same about? Or any actor for that matter? Sounds like the typical "I have to be sure to knock and knock down an incredibly popular actor even though he's been dead since 1975" drivel that's trotted out in some form or another on every video that includes John Wayne. If you knew anything about John Wayne, you'd know how often he, himself, gave credit where it was due for his success - to those who worked with him, helped him, and directed him. You're trying to sound profound, and instead just state something obvious and banal.
You sir know nothing. Wayne was in some of the biggest movies of the 20th century. C list my ass. He was actually a very good actor. You don't get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame if your c list. From the movie the longest day to true grit he was a great actor.
The film "The Quiet Man" and the series of short stories do not bear any resemblance to each other. Specifically, if you read the short story 'The Quiet Man,' you will not find any similarities to the theme or the character played by John Wayne. The movie can be quite disturbing, especially for individuals coming from a dysfunctional or abusive family background. One particularly distressing scene is when Maureen O'Hara's character is dragged through the village by John Wayne's character. In this scene, a villager even offers a switch to Wayne to make it easier for him to beat his wife (which Wayne accepts). Eventually, O'Hara's character is discarded at the feet of her brother by Wayne. The following dialogue, where she announces she will have tea ready for Wayne after he fights her brother, is unsettling and disturbing. Overall, the film delves into dark and troubling themes that can evoke trauma for some viewers. It portrays an unhealthy relationship dynamic that may be unsettling for those who have experienced dysfunctional family situations. This film is an excellent example of misplaced romanticism. I'll stand with @Joseph-og9jh.
The best you, Foldo, can do is call people names, hide in anonymity and construct sentences of a half dozen or so words. The best I can do is give a thoughtful response... Oh! And report you. Lots of luck with being a thoughtless troll. I stand by my critique.
I'm late on this comment section but The Quiet Man was a rapid departure from Wayne's 'bread and butter' style roles. They took a chance to even make this film. And it ended up being the best movie the Republic movie studios made.
John Wayne, great fighter, But not as good as James Stewart, David Niven, Clark Gable and Lee Marvin to name but a few. He played the "Hero" whilst others were, then has the audacity to capitalise on it.
The studio John Wayne was signed to refused to let him out of his contract to serve in the military, and even brought legal action against the Armed Forces to prevent them from drafting John Wayne. Because he was prevented from serving in the military during WW2, John Wayne insisted on doing films about the war to inspire the troops and to raise money for war bonds. John Wayne was not a coward, nor did he ever claim to be a true hero like those that did serve in the military. In fact he was always the first to claim that they were the true heroes, not him.
@@WE-te3vp Ali refused the draft like a Man, Up front and publicly. He never skulked behind a woman's skirts and Fatherhood. Wayne was making films and money.

I’ve loved this movie for 50 years and this is THE GREATEST fight scene ever !!
I believe this may be the best movie of all time.
Ward Bond was always great. Wish he had a lot more leading roles.
One of the best fights on film god bless you mr Wayne great film never get tired of this wonderful film 😊

Always got me and my mum laughing, great fight scene, great movie
This is one of John's best movies. I love him with Maureen, they just clicked
This is much better than the All Out War fight scene in Dark Knight Rises.
I laughed myself silly when I saw this as a kid. Then one day I saw a real bar fight.
Excellent casting and storyline. They couldn't make a movie this good today.......
Yeah that can
The leg bite part always has me lauging lol .

Love when he tells Maureen O'Hara off for letting Wayne sleep in the sleeping bag
One of my favorite films with many of my favorite actors.

Un film stupendo nella trama, negli interpreti e nei colori. Indimenticabile il finale. Verosimile
Ward bond being ward bond. Amazing.
Victor mclaglen was an actual prize fighter. Once fought world champ jack Johnson.

Fantastic movie. This was a brilliant fight scene 👏 🙌 👌
Highly recommended movie
I love this movie over all others I have seen in my 64 years of life!
Love this film SO much. Who says you need a gun fight to make a great action sequence, when a good ol' Irish brawl will do just as well.

I remember watching this movie in English 2 in high school!
The Good old days when we had real 🎬
Best fight scene ever.
Ashford Castle Bridge where the two priest were watching the fight
Anglican minister and bishop at the bridge. 2 Catholic priests by the gate.
I was able to see the place where the movie was made, was not far from where my grandparents were from.
In a interview Keith david said that in the movie they live the fight scene took inspiration from this scene so awesome how cinema takes inspiration from cinema
"God bless all in this house."
"WIPE YER FEET!"
So many great moments in this movie.
"Thank ye marm"
I love how the one guy, with no lines, known only as 'the Major' is the only one completely disinterested in the fight. The presumption being, 'the Major' has seen a few fights of his own...
It seems so strange that nobody was recording this fight on their phones.
The only other fight scene to top this would be Godzilla vs King Kong
Love the guy getting last rights and jumps out of bed as soon as the fight gets close.😊
John Ford’s brother
I like the high def.
Gennelmen, if ye please, this is a privet fite.
