(HD 720p) The isle of Innisfree, Theme From "The Quiet Man"
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2011
- Farrelly's "Isle of Innisfree" is a beautiful haunting melody by Irish Composer and Songwriter Dick Farrelly (1916 - 1990). The melody and lyrics express the longing of an Irish emigrant for his native land. It was the main theme of the film "The Quiet Man". It became a worldwide hit for Bing Crosby in 1952 and continues to enrich the repertoires of many artists; it endures in the hearts of many as one of the great songs of Ireland.
The 1952 movie "The Quiet Man" was set in 1920s Ireland. Sean Thornton (John Wayne), an Irish-born American from Pittsburgh, returns to Ireland to reclaim his family's farm in Innisfree. He meets and falls in love with the fiery spinster Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara).
Isle Of Inisfree
I've met some folks
Who say that I'm a dreamer
And I've no doubt
There's truth in what they say
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away
And precious things
Are dreams unto an exile
They take him o'er
The land across the sea
Especially when it happens he's an exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Inisfree
And when the moonlight
Peeps across the rooftops
Of this great city
This movie and "It's a Wonderful Life" are my favorite movies, and I'm only 17 years old. They need to make movies like that. Not garbage, moral-less movies like they do now.
You should check out ET the extra- terrestrial if you haven't already. It has a reference to this movie.
You've made two wonderful choices!
Bless you Ed Dunn! We need more young men like you!
RIP to the legend that is Maureen O'Hara who passed away today at the age of 95. She was the last living actress from the "Golden age of Hollywood" and as of this day there is no longer any living cast members from 'The Quiet Man'. May she be just as feisty and amazing in the afterlife as she was to all of us
John Wayne's children had roles in the Quiet Man so here's hoping that they are still with us.
Wut?
.. and Olivia de Haviland was a hat check girl?
Olivia De Havilland 102 this summer.
@@johnnymac8680 yep!
They're all now in Heaven having a party. May God Bless them all. Imagine the Isle Of Innis free being played as your walking towards the light of Christ. RIP the Cast of the The Quiet Man. My mothers favoured film along with Gone with the wind and Dr zhivago
Some pretty good choices!
Of all of his movies, this was John Wayne's best .
I would say this is the most beautiful Irish song ever written and being an immigrant it lifts my heart every time I hear it (God Bless Dick Farrelly)
And GOD BLESS U AND ALL OF US
It has a lot of Irish competition.
But yeah, Irish music at its finest.
How can this Beautiful Song possibly get dislikes ??????? R.I.P. Maureen O'Hara we loved your Movies and Miss you dreadfully............ God Bless your Soul wherever you are....... You're with the Lord now,,,,
I loved her too Vivien and all the cast of this wonderful film but ,The Isle of Innisfree was such a haunting melody and song throughout the movie ,we must never forget the wonderful Dick Farrelly for this awesome song nor his Family.
They say Maureen O'Hara passed peacefully listening to this music. Incomparable - the actress and the music.
She's no be listening to the music, lads. She be making it.
The most beautiful of the angels as well
this movie was my mother and father,s favourite movie, so much so they called me Mary Kate, played the music for Dad at his funeral, have a piece of the bridge on their resting place, miss them every day
GOD Bless u Mary Kate
Michael McNaughton thanks for your reply
Yes indeed my wee Irish ☘️ mammies favourite to . I’m Scottish never BRITISH. . My Scottish man or / BF whose shall we say not of my faith Scottish through & through NEVER BRITISH . He loved when I said 2 him a yr or so ago now don’t u be going shaming me bc I didn’t want people to know we are lovers without marriage . Lol
My favorite movie of all time. The characters, the story line, the actors, the music, the scenery, the wink and nod, the romantic John Wayne at his absolute BEST, the gorgeous Maureen O’Hara. This is storytelling like no other movie has even come close to portraying!! Absolute perfection in every single frame!!
Sono d’accordo
A favorite in my house when we were growing up. Good memories.
We travelled to Ireland 2 years ago and saw the famous bridge here ...the countryside here is so beautiful. I bought the movie when I returned home, helped to keep the green lush fields in my heart
I'M
THINKING OF YOU DAD, YOUR FAVOURITE MOVIE ,,,,,MISS U XXX
Hauntingly beautiful. I cried huge buckets of tears when Maureen passed away last year. Such a delightful person. Such a lovely actress.
Great movie e specially if you have irish heritage
Ah im in to all old movies ,especialy irish ones, x
And RIP Miss O'Hara. The technicolor Queen! Sad, two legends gone.
The best Film ever made. Thank you Dick Farrelly for writing this wonderful song on the bus. xxxxx May God rest your sweet soul.
i just bought a new version of this movie(brilliant)and i never get tired of it,brings back memories of Ireland in my youth,what a lovely time it was
First saw The Quiet Man as a boy in 1952. I loved the film then and still do. I have long looked but have never seen a woman as beautiful as Maureen. The music arranged by Victor Young is superb and every March I watch this unexcelled film. Thanks for your posting.
Bill
A blast from the lovely irish film of days gone by
It's just impossible not to love this song, I'm Irish through & through & anyone that doesn't.like this, is just not Normal, !!!!!!!!!!!!
I met. Maureen in person years ago, at tha St.Patricks day parade in Holy Oak Massachusetts.quite a lady. I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THAT TIME.👍🙏🤠IN MY LIFE.
Ireland...a nation with such a rich lore, a beautiful legacy, and a precious gem of European majesty. This song is so blissful and full of spirit! I love Ireland so much and one day Ulster will come back to freedom and peace in the Irish mind!
agree paul
Thanks a bundle, Cloqi and Mary. :)
One of my very favourite films and I absolutely love the theme tune!
I love that theme tune too!

(resident of inisfree !!)
this film is masterclass great music ,it showed so many good values that is sadly missing today
in most places
A film I grew up with. And that fight is epic haha
I used to watch this movie every St. Patrick's Day. I haven't in many years. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. They were very good together.
Favourite movie of all time used to watch it before every trip to 🇮🇪
Such a beautiful composition to enjoy.
Fare thee well Ms. O'Hara. You were the catalyst for this then young lads love of redheads...
As a small child my first friend was a beautiful red-headed girl called Alice. I have had a thing about red-headed girls/ladies ever since.
Me mam love this film miss you mam always wish you were here to watch it again... R.i.p.
🙏🌹💗

A great classics. One of John Ford's best. Great cast. They do make them like this anymore. So Sad.
This movie is a real classic and the music adds to it's beauty..
such a lovely tune from a brilliant film
Best film I ever saw
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
This is my all-time favourite film. Ever.
Since I first saw it as a small boy, maybe 60 years ago.
I am a huge John Wayne fan and a western/cowboy fan generally..
Just love the movies.. and this one particularly, tho' it struggles sometimes with Casablanca.. and Out of Africa.
But what always swings it, is the gorgeous redhead who shines thro' it and who I have loved all these years.
The casting for this movie was exemplary.. really, it is a question of who steals it.? There are some wonderful parts for the regular repertory company here. But Barry FitzGerald.. heroic, homeric. Superb
And please don't tell Miss O'hara.. I would be sooo embarrassed. Best just to say nothing and love from a distance.
I wish I'd met someone like her fabulous characters.
But Shhhhhhhhhhhh.!
WF
"go way ya traitor" sooo agree with you my friend... bessst movie EVER!!!!
Billbothebear14 I think there must be a DVD available to see. As you say Billie it was a great film for all ages. Let's hope it on Freeview soon. It must have been filmed many years ago but would still be fun to see.
Pam Lee Billie.?
Excuse me Madam..
First of all..I am NO Billie and second of all.. surely Billie is the girls spelling.. no?
And American at that.. no.?
You seem to have dug yourself a deep hole to fall into.. what EXACTLY are you implying.?
Hmmmmmm.?
Is it the usual practice where you are to be so familiar on first meeting, without being introduced, and without being invited now.?
Faints.!
Billbothebear14 I sent a little message earlier today, should be posted now. No worries!
love it also
The Words and music were written By Dick Farley who was a Garda (Irish Police) Born in Kells Co. Meath in 1916.
Rest in peace Maureen
Truly great movie with magnificent casting and a absolutely beautiful theme tune
Rest in peace, Maureen.
What a great 👍 film 🎥 to go with a lovely 😊 sound many stars 🌟 that played in a lot of different films up there 👆 with the best thank you 🙏 from Ian
It’s a shame that they don’t make movies like this anymore where are you can appreciate the music and all the instruments involved God bless them I loved watching it and I watch it as often as I can such great acting
I have the painting framed on my wall
From cong🍀
The location of the quiet man
..one if the best film's ever made🎬🌟💯 my family's favourite film, especially my uncle Johnny 💙💙💙
Gone with the wind and The Quiet Man are one of THE best Old Hollywood movies for me - both filmed so colourful and both have a fascinating couple ❤
This orchestral arrangement has to be the best ever . The arrangement is clever bringing in so many instruments thus giving the listener a superb insight to what a lovely arrangement can do to a wonderful but yet haunting song. It is played with such gusto towards the end .
RIP George Romero! We Love You! You will be missed.
Was he a fan of Ford?
I watched this with my Dad...I miss my Dad!X
Watched all her films especially this one John Wayne 😁 the music takes my breath away well done Victor👌gives me chills just about everywhere I shall watch it again, I think they made the perfect couple..
She certainly was and she is now living in Ireland. I think Irish girls are the most beautiful in the world .
The best part of the movie was Barry Fitzgerald! LOVE that little man!
Michaeleen Og Flynn!
Hard to believe this was in fact one of George A Romero's favorite films and scores. He's the one that brought me here. Oh, and my half Irish heritage. ;-)
Love this film so much, it's a family favourite in our house...thanks for sharing 💖💖💖
one of the finest films ever made, reminds me of my home town portlaoise.
Best movie the Duke made!
She looked a Wild awesome Red Haired Irish Beauty in this B/W photo , so proud of her.
RIP Maureen,ar dheis Dé go raibh d'anam.
absolutely brilliant ! the culminating crescendo is very moving !
What a beautiful 🎥 and the music 👌😘💟🐦🌈 touches my 💟👌💟😘🌈r,I,p, Maureen+John,god bless you , amen 💙🐦💟💯👌
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
Beautiful song. Beautiful movie
One of the best.
I grew up on a property in CQ Australia named Innisfree by my parents after this song. Later In their lives I was so happy to take them back to the Isle itself.
Luv luv this...thank u for posting xx
Arthur Shields, who played the Protestant minister, was Barry Fitzgerald's brother and his junior by about ten years. In case you noticed a family resemblance.
this is the movie for the few that do not like john wayne movies
Love the movie, reminds me of a better place and time.🤠🍻🍀☘🍀☘🍀🙏
MAGNIIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Had to watch this again for St. Patrick’s Day! I will be watching the movie itself to honor Maureen and John.

In questo film c'è tutto quello che ho sempre desiderato e, dopo tanto e tanto tempo è sempre nel mio cuore, grandi interpreti, grande musica, grandi paesaggi e tanti buoni sentimenti.
Mystic sounding melody.
George A Romero passed away listening to the score from this film.
movieman175 I was going to say that.
R.I.P George Romero, you'll be missed! Best director!
Glad thinking that this is the last thing that George Romero listened to. R.I.P George.
Love it
Maureen O'Hara says as much with her beautiful eyes as she does with her voice
A few years ago I drove a college baseball team to a tournament for the tour company I worked for. A player asked the coach if he could play a movie on the video system on the bus. Coach said sure, you know the rules. The movie was Boondocks Saints, coach told me to stop and open the door, he removed the disc and flew it out the door like a frisbee, when the player started complaining the coach yelled back that his IQ had dropped 20 points in the few minutes the movie was playing. The coach asked me if I had brought any movies and I handed him The Quiet Man and Red River. The players complained for a few minutes and then were quiet. By the time we were at our destination they had watched Red River once and The Quiet Man twice and after the 3 day tournament they asked me if they could watch my movies on the way home.
John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and The Taming of the Shrew:)
I enjoy your vidoes tremendously ...thanks for sharing it dear Romy… greetings....
“And Mary Kate Danaher dippin’ her fingers as pretty as you please…”
The Isle of Innisfree…
I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things he loves are far away
And precious things are dreams unto an exile
They take him o’er the land across sea
Especially when it happens he's in exile
From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops
Of this great city, wondrous though it be
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter
I'm once again back home in Innisfree
--- Instrumental ---
I wander o'er green hills and dreamy valleys
And find the peace no other land could know
I hear the birds make music fit for angels
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow
And then into a humble shack I wander
My dear own home and tenderly behold
The folks I love around the turf fire are gathered
On bended knees, their rosary is told
But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten
And soon I’m back to stern reality
But though they pave the footways here with gold dust
I would still choose my Isle of Innisfree
But though they pave the footways here with gold dust...
I would still choose my… Isle… of… Innisfree...
John Williams used a snippet of this theme in the movie ET, when Elliot kissed the girl in the classroom.
RIP George Romero you will be missed. The Godfather of Zombie movies. R.I.L
Thank you for watching. Regards.
two of the Giants from Hollywood, true americans
hoskinmage she was born in Ireland and spent her teens there and moved to the states when she was around 19.
tHIS MAGNIFICENT SONG it's the sound -track of the classical film "the quit man" (1.952), directed by the most director of all time, JOHN FORD. HE LET TO THE WORLD THIS BRILLIANT FILM, WHOSE WONDER I GUARD IN MAY MIND AND SOUL. tHE PUGILIST TRYING TO AVOID THE FIGHT WITH HIS BROTHER IN LAW, MAKE-ME TO REMEMBER OF THAT ENGLISH LOCUTION IN HAMLET-- "TO BE OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION'. iN THE FILM: TO FIGHT OR NOT TO FIGHT BY THE 350 POUNDS. THIS ACTION CORROBORATES WITH THE CLASSICAL LOCUTION (act 3, scene 1.)
RIP
Sorry you couldn't have met my grandmother. When she was very young, she looked like Katharine Hepburn, but, as she matured, she looked a lot more like Maureen O'Hara.
@navydoctrinidad You're welcome, Charlie. I'm glad you enjoyed warching the video.. (Romi)
Beautiful haunting music, however, I believe that John Heuston didn't mention the composer Dick Farrelly in the credits of the film.
I just got two things to say, first i'm proud to be Irish, second, does anyone know what Maureen o'Hara whispers to John Wayne at the end of the film? Its so annoying that because of a promise she made with John, she won't tell.
ARCHER684 think she took that secret to the grave.her and duke were great pals.
All of the conflicts addressed in the picture are resolved when the picture concludes except one. Remember when the two of them are discussing flowers and potatoes in the garden and John says to her “and no children “. That question is answered when Maureen whispers into John’s ear that she is going to have a baby. Now all the conflicts and questions are answered. One of the finest films of all time. Always my favorite.
Yep
sadly no longer with us
Thanks you-tube, nothing I'd more like to see than a war film teaser before I listen to this. Hello, it's like finger nails on a damn blackboard!!!!
Would he film be so rememberable without the theme music, written by Dick Farrelly who strangely enough got no mention in the credits. The scenery is beautiful but stage Irish in some ways. The brawls, Wayne's apparently dragging Kate by the hairs. Maureen O Hara undoubtedly a beautiful woman having to act as a skittery semi wild part, peeping around gateways. Anyway.... It was of its time. Still love it
