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!
