The neatest thing happened today. I mentioned "The Quiet Man" on Facebook a few weeks ago because my husband and I watch it every year on St. Patrick's Day (it's about Ireland). And Angela watched it over the weekend and pointed out that John Wayne's relationship with Maureen O'Hara is much like Jamie and Claire in many ways. Now don't get excited - it's not exact by any means....but it's similar in certain instances. I don't want to give anything away...but if you get a chance, you should definitely check out The Quiet Man.
My favorite John Wayne movie!!!
ReplyDeleteWe watched Nora on St. Patty's Day. I'll refrain from drawing any parallels....
ReplyDelete(-;
Haven't seen in it in many, many years. Think I'll watch it soon. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this movie. I think you are right abut the comparisons.
ReplyDeleteOne of my family's favorites. I grew up watching this...often. I'll have to go back and look for some paralles; never thought of that before.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy I heard of this movie from you. Good movies are getting hard to find these days;-) BTW - saw Jane Eyre last night! They did a great job on the film. And oh my Mr. Rochester...verra fine;-)
ReplyDeleteOh Angelaaaaa....wasn't Mr. Rochester SO good?? Oh wow I loved Jane Eyre.
ReplyDeleteI love the Quiet Man. Maureen O'Hara talks about making this movie in her book. She still won't reveal what she whispered in John Wayne's ear to get the reaction needed for the scene, which evidently was real.
