Picture the Quiet Man: an Illustrated Celebration

Written by a true fan, this reflection on one of the most loved Irish films of all time collects mementos from John Ford's Oscar winning The Quiet Man. Although made more than 50 years ago, this romance, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, continues to fire the imaginations of Ireland's visitors, would-be visitors, and lovers of cinema. This collection serves as a photo album, with candid shots from behind the scenes and stills from the film itself, a miscellany of little-known facts about the locations, bit parts, costumes, and directorial commentary, and never-before-published material that will charm film buffs and engage film historians.
