Review of The Quiet Man (1952) by John A — 07 Sep 2011
An enjoyable love story that certainly models itself after its title. O'Hara is the real treat here, as her fiery redheaded character steals every scene she's in. Ford, through the use of vibrant colors and sing-songy characters, evokes a heavenly vision of his ancestral homeland, one that elides its faults and dwells on its strengths.
This is a film by an older director longing for something more, something special in the world. It's great to be able to share that dream with him.
