American silver screen icon John Wayne trades the scrubby, golden expanse of the Wild West for the emerald green hills of the Irish countryside in the John Ford-directed The Quiet Man. Irish-born American Sean Thornton comes home to the Irish village of Innisfree to claim his family home. While there he takes an interest in his spunky neighbor, Mary Kate Danaher, played by Maureen O’Hara. Catch this romantic comedy with another Ford classic, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, which finds Wayne leading U.S. Cavalry troops through the scenic Monument Valley.
