The Quiet Man: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"Well, then. Now. I'll begin at the beginning. A fine soft day in the spring, it was, when the train pulled into Castletown, three hours late as usual, and Himself got off. He didn't have the look of an American tourist at all about him. Not a camera on him; what was worse, not even a fishin' rod!"''|'''Father Peter Lonergan''', (Ward Bond) -- The Opening Narration}}

 

 

A polite, soft-spoken fellow by the name of Sean Thornton, played by John Wayne, makes his way to the small Irish village of Innisfree. He's come back to his ancestral home to purchase his father's house "White O' Morning," but in doing so, he rouses the ire of local squire "Red" Will Danaher (McLaglen), who wanted the property himself. Complicating matters is that on the journey to town, Thornton caught a glimpse of beautiful [[Heroes Want Redheads|redhead]] Mary Kate Danaher (Will's sister), and the two fall in [[Love At First Sight]]. Unfortunately, even to say to Mary Kate, "Hi, how are you? Wanna marry me and live happily ever after?" Thornton has to get Will's permission first. And Will will join the Church of Ireland before ''that'' ever happens. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
