Interesting added features, but on what I thought to be the most interesting - "The Making of... " - about halfway through the video would start to pixelate repeatedly, and then the audio and the person speaking would be far apart re synchronization, making it hard to watch.
It is also missing the main reason I bought this particular version: closed captioning. When you try to turn it on, it just shows "None" with no other option.
The jury is still out on if I'm going to keep it or return it.
Ford undoubtedly envisioned the opposite. He pictured lush landscapes of the emerald isle, peppered with the culture and customs of the Irish -- their religious convictions, their language, their pubs, their music, their blarney. He saw a sentimental story of an Irish-American prize fighter returning to the land of his birth, wishing to escape a past tragedy in the ring, falling in love and marrying a local lass, only to have his hope of a blissful life nearly thwarted by a pugnacious brother-in-law. Foremost of all, he had the good sense to assemble a formidable cast of actors, including John Wayne as Sean 'Trooper' Thorton, Maureen O'Hara as Mary Kate Danaher, Victor McLaglen as Will Red Danaher , Ward Bond as Father Lonigan (narrator of the story) and Barry Fitzgerald as Michaeleen Flynn. Idealistic? Perhaps, but what a grand film it is!
One cannot help but admire John Ford's genius. Many of the scenes are technically and visually arresting for a film made in 1951. Follow the camera as it pans across the Irish coastline when the local derby is underway. Catch the simmering sensuality Wayne and O'Hara feel for one another as they embrace, kiss and the rain pours down, drenching Wayne's translucent silk shirt. Watch O'Hara chat up Ward Bond in Gaelic while he stands knee deep in a glistening pond fly-fishing. Join the town's folk as Wayne takes O'Hara in tow at the train station and drags her across the land, kicking and swinging. See the rollicking donnybrook as McLaglen and Wayne duke it out across the countryside. Scenes like these take hold of the senses and fire the imagination. The viewer believes he is in Ireland. And when the cast curtsey and wave adieu at the end of the film, we are lured once more into believing the story and the people are genuine.
Ford knew how to pluck the heartstrings of an audience. And this 2-DVD collector's edition reveals how he accomplished this feat. In addition to his Oscar-winning movie, a number of special segments delve into the history and making of "The Quiet Man". Leonard Maltin explores the origin of the "The Quiet Man", how Ford struggled for years to get the film made with studio bosses, then ended up at Republic Pictures on the condition he make the western "Rio Grande" to cover any financial loss incurred from "The Quiet Man". An archived interview with Wayne and Ford underscores their mutual respect and friendship. Interviews with Maureen O'Hara, Andrew V. McLaglen (son of Victor McLaglen) and Patrick Wayne are equally insightful and nostalgic. Biographies and movie credits of the cast are included as well in this DVD set.
I'd give "The Quiet Man" ten stars if I could. It's GREAT! Get it. It'll warm your heart and bring a smile to your face.
I love this movie, so will have to look for a more recent copy with better reviews. Hopefully I will find one before St. Patrick's Day 2023!
