This movie is often described as stereotype stage Irish by a misty eyed film director whose family originated from west Cork,maybe it is,but it still dont account for the fact that i must have seen it dozens of times and dig it up when i get tired of the next disaster or drug bust movie.There arent that many 60 year old films that have so many great actors.
A sixty year old movie script that portrays the Irish as drunken rowdies with a propensity for tuning up the old lady. Bury it, you don't need to reinforce the image.
So glad to see the original idea getting some exposure.
Love The Quite Man film. I'm a fan of Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne. They were made to do this picture. Each time I see it I like it more. Looking forward to St. Patrick's Day when it will be shown again. What a legacy and gift this film is. Love it!
