Trailer for the film on YouTube:

This is a beautiful movie.  John Ford out-did himself in this one.  It is full of great scenic shots, amazing colors and exciting scenes, even for a Romantic Drama.  You feel the energy coming off of John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, who is a genuine Irish lady, so she was perfect for this part.  John Wayne is cool in this film and O'Hara is a knock-out.  This is a typical story about an American who arrives in Ireland to claim his inheritance and the man who runs into the hottest chick in all of Ireland.  I use the term typical loosely, because the legendary John Ford, with a typical story, creates a world that is not typical and gives us a great look into a 1950s Hollywood drama from Ireland.  It is the stuff of legends.  A must see film and perfect for St. Patrick's Day. - Phil
