Sinopsis: Sean Thornton (John Wayne), un boxeador norteamericano, regresa a su Irlanda natal para recuperar su granja y escapar de su pasado. Nada más llegar se enamora de Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), una chica muy temperamental, aunque para conseguirla deberá luchar contra las costumbres locales, como
el pago de la dote, y, además, contra la oposición del hermano de su prometida (Victor McLaglen). (FILMAFFINITY)
----------------------------------------
El mundo del cine ha recreado multitud de pueblos encantadores con sus personajes, sus costumbres y sus vidas... pero ninguno como Innisfree. La historia de un ex-boxeador irlandés (inmenso John Wayne) que vuelve de América a su pueblo natal y se enamora de la hermana de su mayor enemigo es una comedia en estado de gracia que transpira
el mejor talento de John
Ford en cada plano. A pesar de su aparente sencillez, llevó años financiarla, pero tras su estreno se convirtió en un clásico inmediato (además de funcionar muy bien en taquilla en USA). Un film de una magia irrepetible. (Pablo Kurt: FILMAFFINITY)

"Junto con "
El apartamento" y "
El buscavidas", una de mis tres películas favoritas" (Carlos Boyero: Diario
El Mundo)
----------------------------------------
"Desde la primera secuencia de esta película memorable, John
Ford logra que
el espectador respire
el aire irlandés. (...) Son mimbres sencillos los que maneja
Ford, pero los teje con inusitada ternura, y también con un sentido del humor que empapa
el relato y logra secuencias inolvidables. (...) "
El hombre tranquilo" es una obra plácida, serena, íntima, pero de hondura inabarcable." (Miguel Ángel Palomo: Diario
El País)
Regreso a Inisfree.
Una de las obras maestras indiscutibles de John
Ford, y canto de amor a Irlanda, la tierra de sus ancestros. Cuenta
el regreso a tierras irlandesas del ex boxeador Sean Thornton, que desea dejar atrás su traumático pasado en Estados Unidos, y establecerse así en Inisfree,
el lugar de los orígenes familiares, para vivir en paz. Enseguida echa
el ojo a una temperamental pelirroja, Mary Kate Danaher, con quien querría casarse, pero las diferencias con su hermano Will por cuestiones de tierras parecen abocar al fracaso las posibilidades de que tal matrimonio se celebre algún día.
El inimitable
Ford sabe dotar su historia de una importante carga sentimental, sin hacerse en ningún momento cargante ni empalagoso. Su profundo y suave sentido del humor se hace presente en mil y un detalles, subrayados por
el narrador,
el católico padre Lonergan (perfecto Ward Bond), que mantiene una cordial rivalidad con
el pastor anglicano. Son memorables la escena de amor en la vieja capilla una noche de lluviosa tormenta, y las peleas, especialmente la que tiene lugar en
el prado. Y hay momentos realmente divertidos, como cuando
el personaje de Michaleen Oge Flynn exclama: "¡Homérico!" tras echar un vistazo a la casa de Thornton... Durante todo
el film,
Ford homenajea la vida familiar, hogareña hasta
el extremo, pintándola de modo idílico, pero aportando también buenas dosis de realidad. John Wayne y Maureen O'Hara hicieron una pareja magnífica, y John
Ford ganó justamente
el Oscar al mejor director; y además del premio a la fotografía,
el film recabó otras cinco nominaciones a la estatuilla dorada (

AMG SYNOPSIS: Returning to the Ireland of his birth, director John Ford fashions a irresistable valentine to the "Auld Sod" in The Quiet Man. Irish-American boxer John Wayne, recovering from the trauma of having accidentally killed a man in the ring, arrives in the Irish village where he was born. Hoping to bury his past and settle down to a life of tranquility, Wayne has purchased the home of his birth from wealthy local widow Mildred Natwick, a transaction that has incurred the wrath of pugnacious squire Victor McLaglen, who coveted the property for himself. By and by, Wayne falls in love with McLaglen's beautiful, high-spirited sister Maureen O'Hara. Her insistence that Wayne conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner-with puckish matchmaker Barry Fitzgerald along for the ride as "chaperone"--is but one obstacle to their future happiness: the other is McLaglen, who spitefully refuses to give his consent to his sister's marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to Wayne. Wayne could care less about dowries, but the tradition-bound Maureen refuses to consummate her marriage until McLaglen pays up. Under any other circumstances, Wayne would have punched out the bullying McLaglen long ago, but ever since his tragedy in the ring he has been reluctant to fight. Local priest Ward Bond conspires with several locals to trick McLaglen into paying his due. They intimate that widow Natwick, for whom McLaglen carries a torch, will marry the old brute if he'll give his consent to the marriage and fork over the dowry. But McLaglen finds he's been tricked and the situation remains at a standoff, with the frustrated Wayne locked out of his wife's bedroom. When Maureen accuses him of being a coward and walks out on him, our hero can stand no more. He marches Maureen to McLaglen's home, indicating that he plans to whale the tar out of both brother and sister. As a huge and appreciative crowd gathers the cornered McLaglen truculently tosses the money in Wayne's direction. Big John hands the bills to Maureen, just as she knew he would, and she ceremoniously burns the money in a rubbish oven, just as he knew she would. Having proven their love for each other, there is nothing left for Wayne and Maureen to do but head home and perform their nuptual duties. But first there's the matter of giving McLaglen the thrashing he deserves....and it is this spectacular donnybrook, which covers several acres of land and at least two "pit stops" so that the combatants can quench their thirst, which convinces Natwick that the defeated McLaglen is truly worthy of her love (her logic is on a par with everyone else's in the film!) Though it tends to perpetuate the myth that all true Irishmen live only to fight, drink and make love, The Quiet Man is grand and glorious fun, enacted with gusto by a largely Hibernian cast and directed with loving care by a master of his craft. Written by Frank Nugent and graced with a lilting musical score by Victor Young, the film won Oscars for Archie Stout's Technicolor photography and for John Ford's direction-a real coup for "poverty row" Republic Pictures. If you haven't already luxuriated in this wonderful film, be sure to catch in on the tube next St. Patrick's Day. -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: The last of four films for which John Ford would win Best Director, The Quiet Man is a charming romantic comedy from a man best known for his somber Westerns. Many consider it his best-loved film; it was certainly one of Ford's favorites, and he considered it some of his most personal work. The director had trouble funding the production, and the notoriously cheap Republic Pictures eventually financed the film. Even with a relatively small budget, however, Ford was able to shoot on location in Ireland and produce a fabulous-looking color film. John Wayne turns in an amiable performance, exhibiting a diversity often overlooked in considerations of the actor's work. The supporting cast, including Maureen O'Hara, Victor McLaglen, and Barry Fitzgerald, is equally good. Quiet Man was the first high-profile film made in Ireland, and some viewers today may consider the portrayal of the Irish stereotypical. In addition to Ford's win, the cinematography by Winton Hoch and Archie J. Stout was recognized with an Academy Award. -- Brendon Hanley
