Finn P Apr 20, 2019 One of John Wayne's best films. The supporting cast is fantastic.

Kylo R Apr 12, 2019 I just can't get enough of the beauty of the scenery and Maureen O'Hara's attitude. I never liked John Wayne, though.

Harry M Mar 17, 2019 This is the first movie I have seen with John Wayne and I like O'Hara. This film made me want to visit Ireland.

Leia R Jan 30, 2019 You want to watch a both a romance and John Wayne movie at the same time... this is it. John Ford's classic is both well written and breathtakingly filmed. Wayne is surprisingly strong in this romantic comedy with no western or army backdrop. Maureen O'Hara is at her spitfire best and the two of them have a magical chemistry. Even if you're not Irish or Catholic, you'll be drawn to this film. The fight near the end is classic, and is humorous. You'll find yourself immersed in the film from the start. See more

Jan 26, 2019 Th best, GREATEST comedy romance movie ever made!

Jan 7, 2019 "There are several good reasons for drinkin' and another one enters me head if a fellow can't drink when he's livin' how the Hell can he drink when he's dead? mush mush mush too roo li addy singin' mush mush mush too ri li ay if a fellow can't drink when he's livin' how the Hell can he drink when he's dead?" This movie is one of the best with John Wayne and one of the few that strays from his wheelhouse of Western or Military genres. It's been said that John Ford told Maureen O'Hara to say something shocking in the Duke's ear at the end of the movie because he wasn't getting the reaction that he wanted...Well, she must have said something quite shocking indeed with the look John Wayne gave her and to this day nobody else knows what it was. Something else that occurred during filming was in the scene where her hair was blowing in the wind, it kept getting in her eyes and messing her up with her performance. Ford yelled at her for it and she fired back saying, "What would a bald-headed son of a b**** like you know about hair lashing across his eyeballs?!" This movie is truly magical in multiple ways, but most significantly being the cultural clash between Irish tradition and new American ways and the understanding each of them must learn in order for things to work regarding their separate social norms and customs. Lastly, keep an eye on Barry Fitzgerald in the first pub scene. Cheeky old-timer tosses back two glasses of porter in less than 20 seconds and grabs a third before the scene's end. (Even if they were just stage drinks it was still impressive with the pacing of the scene). See more
