As much as Orson Welles lauded Stagecoach in influencing his film technique in the making of Citizen Kane, the Quiet Man is a master class in visual storytelling. The first 10 minutes are so rich and the movie continues to unfold in this same storytelling richness throughout. A wonderful script that captures the depth of a mythological Irish country village perfectly matched by Ford’s cast of quirky, lovable actors/characters, filmed in lush Technicolor, with an equally rich and beautiful soundtrack! The film includes one of the most romantic scenes in movie history surprisingly taking place in a church cemetery during a thunder storm ending in a tender kiss and embrace. Romance! Action! Humor! Heartwarming!

This film is diabolically rubbish. It’s a rom com but the humour is made for kids who thinks oafs behaving like clowns is hilarious. The acting is hammy and unconvincing. The whole thing is tiring to the point I slept through the final twenty minutes and simply didn’t care how this non plot ended. Watched on Film4.

Wonderful movie. Loved that the majority of the movie was filmed in Ireland. Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne had great on screen chemistry.

classic movie. I love the characters and john wayne and the rest of the cast is great. I love the ireland setting and the fight scene is awesome.

Although this move may offend some people's modern sensibilities, I think this movie is about as perfect as a movie can be.

My favorite John Wayne movie. Beautiful scenery and entertaining story.

This is my favorite movie. Great memories watching with my dad.

One of my favourite films John Waynes best film in my eyes, Another film that my late partner Jayne and me loved watching. We watched it loads of times over the years had it on video then disc. Would recommend watching it.

Aunque en ocasiones adopta un tono más serio, 'El hombre tranquilo' se presenta como una comedia romántica que se fundamenta en el choque de culturas, personajes arquetípicos y la búsqueda del amor imposible tan característica del Hollywood de la época, todo ello bajo el estilo distintivo de John Ford. A pesar de las actitudes reiterativas de los personajes (especialmente de Maureen O'Hara) que pueden restar dinamismo a la trama, y de las exageraciones típicas de producciones de este tipo, así como de un posible envejecimiento desfavorable en algunos aspectos, la película resulta ser bastante entretenida y divertida. Destacan las actuaciones magistrales, en especial la de Maureen O'Hara, quien llegó a afirmar que esta era su mejor interpretación en el cine. El elenco en su conjunto aporta un carácter entrañable a la película, y el desarrollo argumental logra convertir una trama recurrente en algo particular, fresco y digno de ser reseñado.

The Quiet Man made a big splash when it came out, but maybe that's because 1952 wasn't a great year for films. I mean, The Greatest Show on Earth won Best Picture that year. This movie is amusing enough. It was interesting to see John Wayne in a movie that had nothing to do with war or the wild west. However, my big issue with this movie was the relationship between Sean (Wayne) and Mary (Maureen O'Hara). Aside from her being pretty, I couldn't see why Sean was interested in Mary, and based on how he treated her, I didn't see why Mary wanted to be with Sean. The Quiet Man hasn't aged well, I guess.

An all time classic. Great script, wonderful acting and a marvellous climax.

What really gets me is anyone not liking this movie. You have to be a complete snob or a hateful person. To quote another John Wayne movie, "you have no milk of human kindness" to not love this film. This movie should be at 99%-100%. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara have got that "go together" quality that few stars had on the screen.

One of the all-time great films. Brilliant from start to finish. All the small sub plot touches are so deftly done.

All Time Classic. The real star here is the incredible cinematography. It's not hyperbole to state this is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It truly is jaw dropping. The music matches and gives this such a charming catchy identity throughout as well. The acting is excellent and hats off to Wayne for really playing a charming, stern, but humble character that doesn't have many lines but speaks with his great actions and expressions which truly surprised me. Anyone who says Wayne can't play anyone but a tough cowboy I refer them here. Everyone else is excellent and likeable and charming. But the standout as excellent as Wayne is, is O'Hara. She is amazing in this and has amazing chemistry with Wayne and her beauty matches the setting. If it isn't the setting of Ireland making this pop its O'Hara. There really isn't many other stars I can think of who can electrify the screen like her in this. This is a very well paced film that does take its time but always gives you something to enjoy while it moves along cinematography wise or acting wise and it pays off with a awesome and fun fight that doesn't disappoint. The editing is masterful also and moves between Sean/Mary-Kate without missing a beat and has lots of underlying commentary about family cultures and love that I didn't expect. This is a lot of fun and even in slower moments your never bored. The only minor issue is the accents did get in the way so I turned on subtitles which fixed it instantly. This is something everyone should see once.

my all time favorite John Wayne movie and the new 4k version is outstanding !!

Any couple that gets along this poorly & treat each other so disrespectfully should divorce without a second thought. The actors may be real true best friends, but these characters have an extremely toxic relationship.

My favorite film with Maureen O'Hara and The Duke! Beautiful film!

the story line,actors, and the fun.just a awesome movie

A very Irish movie. I usually don't prefer technicolor but seeing this makes me realize why Irelands stereotypical color is green. The costume design and landscape is all very attractive, and I love how everyone drinks porter.

A great film of simpler times. Funny, charming and beautiful scenery
