And another great Irish American film I cannot recommend enough! “Far and Away” (1992) Please don’t wait until next St. Patrick’s Day to catch this one. It is a phenomenal film! And I really think you’d love it. Especially after seeing how much you enjoyed this film. There’s great chemistry between the two actors. The film came out in the 1990s, but it takes place in the 1890s A very engaging film.

Dawn Marie.. Great Reaction!! Have always loved this movie.. Other John Wayne movie suggestions.. "The Searchers" (1956), "McClintock" (1963, also co-starring Maureen O'Hara), "True Grit" (1969), "Red River" (1948), Stagecoach" (1939), "Rio Bravo" (1959)

An early John Wayne film, also directed by John Ford, is Stagecoach (1939). It revived the Western as a serious genre and made Wayne a star. If you want a film set in Scotland, I suggest I know Where I'm Going (1945). Film on the island of Mull, black and white has never looked so mystical. Many have called it the most romantic film of all time.

Stagecoach is definitely on the list but I don't think I know Where I'm Going is so I'll pop it on. Thank you!

Awesome!! I really think you’d love it. It’s a wonderful film.

"True Grit" is my John Wayne movie favourite. Has your Mum seen that?

No one recommended more Maureen O’Hara movies, so I will. I thought of 15 worth watching, but I'll suggest just 3, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Parent Trap (1961). There are many more John Ford and John Wayne movies to watch, but I'm sure your list has a lot of those on it already.

I thought you said "THE QUIET MAN" was one of you Mum's favourite films. Sorry if i got it wrong, may have been another reaction person i follow. By the way there is a parcel on its way to your PO BOX from me :) Not much, just a little something

Wonderful reaction, Dawn. In the scene where John Wayne discovers Maureen O'Hara in his cottage, the wind whipped her hair so ferociously around her face she kept squinting. John Ford screamed at her in the strongest language to open her eyes. "What would a bald-headed son of a bitch know about hair lashing across his eyeballs," she shot back. During the filming of a take of the scene where John Wayne first kisses Maureen O'Hara, she slaps his face. When he blocked the blow, she broke a bone in her hand. Since the movie wasn't being filmed in sequential order, she couldn't wear a cast to fix the broken bone. The white-haired, frail Dan Tobin, who gets up from his deathbed and runs to see the fight, is Director John Ford's older brother, Francis Ford. Francis was a silent film actor and director in his own right, who died two years after the film was made. In an interview, John Wayne said that the final fight scene was stylized to make it seem more interesting. The fighters use long, swinging "roundhouse" punches rather than the economical short punches a real prizefighter would use. John Wayne and John Ford decided to play a trick on Maureen O'Hara during filming. They chose the sequence where Wayne drags O'Hara across the town and through the fields. Before shooting the scene, Wayne and Ford kicked all of the sheep dung they could find onto the hill where O'Hara was to be dragged, face-down, on her stomach. She saw them doing it; with the help of several friends, she kicked it off, only to have Wayne and Ford kick it back on. She and her friends kicked it off again, and Wayne and Ford kicked it back. This went on and on until right before the scene was to be shot when Wayne and Ford got in the last kick. According to O'Hara, "Duke had the time of his life dragging me through it. It was bloody awful. After the scene was over, Mr. Ford had given instructions that I was not to be brought a bucket of water or a towel. The movie was filmed in Ireland in the town of Cong in County Mayo. Cong is now a major Irish tourist attraction because of the movie. The local pub hosts daily re-runs of the film.
