The Quiet Man

[beloitpiper]

So I watched The Quiet Man for the first time last night. I can honestly say I've found a new favorite movie. What more could you ask for? Bare-knuckle boxing, Irish stereotypes used at inappropriate levels, IRA references, drunkeness, hot red heads (Maureen O'Hara!!!), and kilted pipers:



Here's a close-up


These kids are actually John Wayne's kids!


As cool as that was, I noticed that none of them wore sporrans. I found that odd. But yeah, great film! It was really funny, and full of Irish (although sometimes [usually] stereotyped) wonderfullness!

I don't see the pictures, but I agree The Quiet man is an awesome movie. We traditionally watch it every year on st. patrick's day.

"Here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady with" has got to be one of the most hilarious lines in the movie. Especially because an old lady hands him a stick and says it to John Wayne's character.

I changed the format of the pictures. Hopefully you can see them now.

you forgot the the song "Rakes of Mallow", its the 1st pipe tune that I could do pretty good without reading the music...
