Directed by the great John Ford, inaugural recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award, THE QUIET MAN (1952) sees both director and frequent collaborator John Wayne out of their comfort zone in the American West and in the verdant hills of Innisfree, Ireland – where the two-fisted American finds love with fiery Maureen O’Hara in a story that the American Film Institute named one of the most romantic in the art form’s history.
