"D'you see that road over there?... Well don't take that one, it'll do you no good."
LOL

[@CrimsomLeo]

As one who been to Ireland several times I have heard something similar when asking directions lol

[@wendytravel1]

God bless Maurice Walsh for writing the short story & the people who adapted it into this brilliantly endearing film. 1 of the top of many Irish literary & film masterpieces.just drove thru knockanure a few weeks ago on short rural Sunday excursion.

I’ve owned the cottage in Ireland that this movie was filmed on. If you Google the movie she will see a clip of it and usually my name as the owner. I have tried to restore the cottage since I bought it in 1983. All I wanted the Irish government to do is help me get the permits to do so. Their environmental rules were so strict and even if you owned 1000 acres and wanted to put a room on your home it could take you up to four years. I did not know John

That's absolutely shameful. They can't expect people to take good care of the historic houses if you aren't allowed to fix it up.

The thing I most remember about "The Quiet Man" is that John Wayne seemed to light up about two dozen cigarettes only to immediately cast them aside in anger.

[@biologygirl91]

Haha! 😂 yes!! I remember my mom pointing that out like crazy when I was a kid. She said it just wasn’t practical or realistic

[@Shannongirls1]

Tell me there is no better film that John Wayne starred in and the knowledge will cover a multitude of other sins
