This pairing is a tribute to amazing actors who surpassed expectations by choosing roles outside their normal comfort zones! First up, action star John Wayne chooses a quirky romantic comedy, set in 1920s Ireland, in a film that would net director John Ford his fourth Academy Award for Best Director. In 1952's "The Quiet Man," Wayne plays Sean Thornton, an ex-boxer who has hung up his gloves to return to his homeland. Hoping to reclaim his ancestral home, he runs across Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara) and her older brother Squire 'Red' Will Danaher, who also has designs on the property. After the Widow Sarahy Tillane (Mildred Natwock) chooses to sell the property to Thornton, Red declares that never will he allow his sister to be courted by the American. Thus begins a conspiracy that involves the entire town, all with the end goal of seeing Sean and Mary Kate married with her full dowry! Also starring Barry Fitzgerald, Ward Bond, and Arthur Shields.
