Premiered in 1952, John Ford's classic movie remains one of the most popular Irish movies among Irish Americans. We take a look at why one of his most popular films "The Quiet Man" endures to this day.Â
The late great Maureen O'Hara's most famous film, John Ford's "The Quiet Man," constantly turns up on TV channels like Turner Classic Movies, especially around St. Patrick's Day. John Fordâs 1952 film "The Quiet Man" has been a St. Patrickâs Day staple for over 60 years now.
And for just as long, the film has had its detractors â those who grumble that the film is little more than a brightly-colored jaunt through Irish stereotypes: the drunks, the brawlers, and all those freckled redheads.
