John Ford's The Quiet Man celebrates one of Hollywood's most romantic and enduring epics. The first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside, Ford richly imbued this masterpiece with his love of Ireland and its people.

Returning to the Irish town of his youth, he finds happiness when he falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate. Newly remastered in HD. |
