An Irish cottage for the weekend ...

Its a weekend with THE QUIET MAN - John Ford's immortal piece of Irish whimsy from 1952. No matter how many times I have seen it (quite a lot since I was a kid) it always comes up fresh. All those great characters to enjoy spending time with - that perfect cottage interior and were Wayne and O'Hara ever more lovable?  (above: the restored cottage for today's tourists)

    It's certainly in my all-time best films and perhaps the ONE film I would have on my desert island if forced to take only one. I wonder if it's because we are Irish we love it so much?

    Love it when the one guy jumps out of his death bed so he could watch the fight.
