Product Description

In the emotional and entertaining documentary, John Ford: Dreaming The Quiet Man, director Se Merry Doyle explores the tenacity of director John Ford and his twenty-year struggle to bring the classic film The Quiet Man to the screen. The Quiet Man would go on to become a world wide box-office sensation, and win John Ford the Academy Award for Best Director and Winton C. Hoch and Archie Stout an Oscar for Best Cinematography. Doyle's documentary features interviews with film notables including leading lady Maureen O'Hara and directors Martin Scorsese, Peter Bogdanovich and Jim Sheridan, who share the indelible impact that the film has had their lives and influenced their careers. This revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making of Ford's classic is highlighted with rare and never-before-seen home movies documenting the cast and crew's time filming in Ireland.

John C. Simpson

Very Good Documentary About One Of My Favorite Films.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

This documentary is filled with insights into the making of The Quiet Man and takes us to the Irish town that was the setting for the movie.
Terrific interviews with Maureen O'Hara (with bits that didn't make it into the film retained as special features), Martin Scorsese, Aissa Wayne (one of John Wayne's daughters) and more.

One pleasant surprise was an interpretation of the film by Professor William Dowling of Rutgers University.

One part that stands out for me is the story behind the filming of the "confession scene" where Mary Kate is talking to Father Lonergan while he's trying to fish. Finally being able to watch that scene with English subtitles was worth the price of the Blu-Ray to me.

If you enjoy the Quiet Man I think that you'll enjoy this documentary.

Keep in mind that some of the clips in the Special Features are better measured in seconds. This is reasonable because they are edits from the documentary that someone thought worth preserving. Some are better than others but it is what it is.

Some of the Irish residents being interviewed could have used some subtitles as well since they had very substantial accents.

The clips of The Quiet Man used in the documentary have some serious technical issues of blurring and color saturation issues but since they only complement the story it didn't bother me all that much.

Oh, I almost forgot that when I saw the Main Menu for the first time, there's a little cottage in the middle that I swore must have been an Easter Egg. Not the case

For any fan of The Quiet Man, this is a must buy. It is a very interesting look back at the making of the movie and the history of how John Ford came to make the film. The many side stories and contributing members involved, as well as the commentary of Martin Scorsese and Peter Bogdanovich adds to the story and the making of the movie. Having visited Cong and surrounding area a couple of times myself, seeing the scenery again was priceless.
Frankly, if you've never seen The Quiet Man, you need to watch this wonderful and timeless masterpiece.......and then you too can enjoy this dvd !!!

My favorite movie of all time - bar none! A true classic, wonderfully directed and delivered!

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2015

Verified Purchase

My favorite movie of all time - bar none! Great acting and humor. The dynamic between John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara as their relationship grows is touching and very well done. Add to that the gorgeous scenes of rural Ireland, the great story line and score and the charming character played so masterfully by Barry Fitzgerald, and you have a true classic, which is wonderfully directed and delivered. It only gets better with each viewing, as you realize and rediscover the layers of meaning, life lessons and culture wrapped within.

FITTING TRIBUTE TO PAPPY'S LOVE OF IRELAND

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

A warm loving tribute to John Ford, the making of "The Quiet Man" and to Ireland.
For "Quiet Man" fans, probably the ultimate companion piece to the movie with clips from the film (could have been more pristine), knowledgeable comments from directors Martin Scorsese, Jim Sheridan and Peter Bogdanovich, Professor William Dowling and noted Ford biographer Joseph McBride. A revisit to many of the original locations especially the town of Cong which substituted for the film's "Innisfree" including meeting some of the townsfolk who worked on the film and others who remember when "Hollywood came to town."
The saga of how John Ford battled for more than twenty years to achieve his love ode to his ancestral home of Connemara and his eventual shrewd deal with Herbert J. Yates (head of Republic Pictures) is well documented and Pappy's cranky quirkiness is lovingly recounted, especially by star Maureen O'Hara.
Lots of little things about the film regularly pop up to surprise and delight all those who love the film, especially those of us who have more than an ample share of the green running through our veins.
There are a number of bonus materials included as extras on the disc although there is nothing particularly significant except for an extended O'Hara interview.
For those interested in learning more about "The Quiet Man", may I suggest the fascinating, superbly researched book "The Complete Guide to The Quiet Man" by Des MacHale (briefly seen in the documentary, hosting a bus tour of the sites) and published by The Appletree Press in Belfast. A large scale book filled with comprehensive detail on every aspect of the film including the pre-expanded version of Maurice Walsh's original story, more than 150 photos and maps, interviews and a unique minute by minute timing of all the scenes. If you love the film, this is a must have book and well worth searching second hand bookshops or specialist cinema and Irish shops for. Also note that MacHale is spelt McHale in the documentary.

A wonderful documentary about a beloved movie

This is a great supplement to the movie. This documentary gave me a number of insights into the movie that will make my next watching of it more meaningful. There are lots of extras -- both extended interviews and material that did not make it into the documentary. The illustrative clips from the movie are very clear. The documentary moves nicely through many topics related to the making of the movie, site selection, financing, etc.

Excellent documentary

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2012

Verified Purchase

My wife and I went to see this captivating documentary in the Queens Film Theatre Belfast, when it was premiered there earlier this year. It was brilliantly directed with very insightful detail, covering John Ford's love of Ireland and the long twenty year battle it took for him to get the film itself made. The director C Merry Doyle was there in person to talk about the doumentary and had a great knowledge of his subject matter when questions were asked at the end. He told us that Nancy, a very amusing character in the documentary who had been there when the film was made in 1952, had sadly passed away prior to the documentary having been shown to her. Her acting John Waynes walk and talking about other events in the film were truly hilarious.
I spoke to the director briefly at the end of the showing to say how much I enjoyed it. You will too. I have now pre-ordered it on Amazon and am looking forward to seeing it again.

I would recommend it very highly

Wow

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

A fitting and excellent tribute to John Ford and the making of "The Quiet man". The enigma of Ford survived intact. Warm and glowing tributes emanate from sources predictable and less predictable; from those he worked with regularly and brought the best out of and those who treat him as a mentor of the highest standard. The "Quiet Man" should never have been made (according to the moguls of the time). That it was and remains so captivating and endearing is a lasting tribute to Ford's genius. Strongly recommended to students of film and those who just enjoyed the movie.
