The Quiet Man (60th Anniversary Special Edition)

Description

Sean Thornton (John Wayne) in an American boxer who swears off fighting after
he accidentally kills an opponent in the ring. Returning to the Irish town of
his youth, he purchases the home of his birth and finds happiness when he
falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate (Maureen O’Hara). But her insistence
that Sean conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner with matchmaker Barry
Fitzgerald along for the ride as chaperone is but one obstacle to their future
happiness: The other is her brother (Victor McLaglen), who spitefully refuses
to give his consent to their marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a
dowry to the husband. Sean could care less about dowries, he would’ve punched
out the bullying McLaglen long ago if he hadn’t sworn off fighting. But when
Mary Kate accuses him of being a coward and walks out on him, Sean is finally
ready to take matters into his own hands, the resulting fistfight erupts into
the longest brawl ever filmed, followed by one of the most memorable
reconciliations in movie history! THE QUIET MAN won a total of two Academy
Awards including Best Director (Ford) and Best Cinematography and received
five more nomination including Best Picture, Best Screenplay and Best
Supporting Actor (McLaglen).
