The Quiet Man 1952, directed by John Ford. Thought I should see a movie with Maureen O Hara since it was 100 years she was born, August 17th.
Former boxer, who has killed a man in the ring, returns to his childhood's Ireland, falls in love with a red-headed young woman, intends to marry her, but her brother stands in the way.
Forget realism, and enjoy a first-class fairy tale instead, with a mix of sentimentality, male chauvinism, fist-fighting, consuming of a lot of alcohol and tons of humour.
Plus great and beautiful cinematography, even if some sets looks a bit artificial, they are beautifully lit.
I hadn't seen it since sometime in the mid 1980s, so I had forgotten a lot of scenes.
