For years, this film and
McClintock! were the only John Wayne films I would willingly sit through;
Quiet Man because it wasn't a Western, and
McClintock! because it's a comedy; both benefit from the great on-screen chemistry and off-screen friendship between Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. And I can't say enough about Barry Fitzgerald, whose Michaeleen Oge Flynn is both hilarious and eminently quotable. I'll definitely have to check out this new restoration.
