<\/a><\/p>\n\nJohn Ford’s The Quiet Man<\/i> (1952), starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara (with Ford regulars Victor McLaglen and Ward Bond in supporting roles), is being released on Blu-Ray in the UK for the very first time. Released by Masters of Cinema<\/a>, the Blu-Ray edition has some great special features (if I do say so myself): A new video-essay about John Ford by Tag Gallagher, a doc about the “making-of”, and a booklet of essays by various writers about different aspects of the film (the Technicolor cinematography, an original 1953 profile of John Wayne, the short story from which the film was based.) <\/p>\n I contributed a lengthy essay about John Wayne that will be included in the booklet (not only about his performance in The Quiet Man<\/i> but on his career and on HIM, in general.)<\/p>\n If you read my site, you know my love for John Wayne, so this was a super-fun assignment. <\/p>\n The Quiet Man<\/i> Blu-Ray will be available at the link above or via Amazon on November 23<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" John Ford’s The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara (with Ford regulars Victor McLaglen and Ward Bond in supporting roles), is being released on Blu-Ray in the UK for the very first time.
