The Quiet Man Film 1952

The Quiet Man starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. This has long been my favourite film. I know the dialogue off by haert  and quote it often! I dreamed for many years of owning a little house just like the one in this film. When I did finally get one I had to call it "White O'Morn"

It has the very same layout as the one in the film and I have set about decorating it as closely as possible and added an emerald green half door.

I have an original book called Green Rushes by Maurice Walsh and this is the book that the screenplay was adapted from. Also in my collection is the Guide to the Quiet Man that examines the film in detail. My sister bought me a tin advertisement poster and of course, I have a copy of it on dvd.

I visited Cong, in County Galway (or is it Mayo?) to visit the locations. Some of these have not changed in all these years. Pat Cohan's is now a pub just like in the film and Rev. Playfair's gingerbread house is still the same.

If you want a good night in with a great old film I can recommend this one. Treat yourself for St Patrick's Day!
