Summary: Maybe Wayne's Best
Review: This is John Wayne at his finest with Irish countryside views that can not be beat. This movie has plot and character with romance and a fight that keeps both men and women entertained. The only drawback is the fromat is still standard and not widescreen. If this DVD was widescreen then it would be a hands down 5 star picture. Great gift idea for couples that want to watch something together.

Summary: Great romance - great fun!
Review: This movie is simply irresistable. Great romance-scenes between Wayne and O'Hara and the final fistfight is a knock-out! (got it?)Lots of fun with Barry Fitzgerald and Victor McLaglen. Good dialogue. This may not be a realistic picture of Ireland in the 20`s - but who cares? To be seen at least once a year!

Summary: Colorization of "The Quiet Man"
Review: Reviewer 2294 has indicated that the original of this film was in B&W. It's my understanding that the original was shot in the old three-strip Technicolor process; therefore requiring no colorization; per a recent program on American Movie Classics, Bob Gitt of the UCLA Film and TV Archive has recently completed a restoration of "The Quiet Man"; have no info. on whether or when this version will make it to VHS/DVD

Summary: A gem of a movie
Review: This is one of my favorite films that I have. It is a movie that has all the right elements in it, comedy, a touch of drama, great acting and beautiful Ireland, what else could you ask for? John Wayne plays a man running from his past by travelling to Ireland, his boyhood home. In the tiny village he encounters Mary Kate Danaher portrayed excellently by the beautiful Maureen O'Hara, and talk about a stormy relationship they have in the movie! Wow! Its like two thunderstorms colliding. Barry Fitzgerald is great in the movie playing Wayne's friend, and Victor McLaglen is outstanding portraying Wayne's arch rival and O'Hara's brother Red Danaher. From beginning to end it is a captivating and charming movie. A crowning achievement to John Ford's impressive directing career.

Summary: Original was Great but ......
Review: The original movie (Black & White) was great but this is a prime example of why "colorization" should be made illegal. The DVD quality is poor at best and the colorization (both DVD & VHS) is so poor that your attention is distracted from the wonderful story line & fine acting. We the buying/viewing public should demand a quality black & white version !

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I was named after Maureen O'Hara in this movie. (Mary Kathleen) And this is one of my all time favorites, wheather people think the acting is bad or the screenplay is bad, look past that and see what a feel good movie it is.

Summary: Its all True
Review: I suppose everything thats been said about this film is true for " That" particular viewer.I Firmly belive that one must catch at least 5 other Ford films to really get whats going on here.Its an Irish celebration of sorts. With love and care from John Ford. If you dont get goose bumps when you see the finale with Wayne and O,Hara running off ..well you missed something simple but in a way profound. CP

Summary: Classic film, but a poor DVD transfer
Review: Quiet Man is one of my all time favorites, but the DVD version left alot to be desired. The film quality is closer to VHS, if even that good. The only 'feature' was a "The Making of..." special, which is also available on the VHS version. A great film, but a very disappointing DVD entry.

Summary: Great movie - Terrible DVD
Review: The quality of this DVD does a huge disservice to the movie. The coler is too saturated, actually making John Wayne's gray hat look like a rainbow at times. Burn holes in the film and magenta tags in the corners were not removed. If you must buy it, don't pay the full price.

Summary: Disappointing for DVD
Review: If you want this DVD, get the VHS video. It is the same thing. Why they did not use widescreen, I do not know. The Irish scenery alone screams for widescreen. Production value is the same as the VHS. And the beautiful soundtrack is in mono. There is no gain to go to DVD. It gets 2 stars because of the two stars, no other reason.
