THE QUIET MAN

Six Sheet (81" x 81")
Very Fine Folded
Republic, 1952

This six-sheet poster, spanning four panels, displays minimal fold wear and signs of handling. There is slight toning and wear along the upper edge, yet it remains in an exceptionally clean state.

When one thinks of John Wayne, one typically recalls his Westerns or his war pictures. But somewhat surprisingly, his most beloved picture was neither. It was, in fact, this film, a romantic comedy-drama directed by longtime Wayne collaborator John Ford and set in Ireland, in which Wayne plays Sean Thornton, a retired boxer who returns to his homeland to buy the family farm and settle down. This was a significant departure for Wayne, Ford, and Republic Studios, as the studio had been known for its solid B-Western line. With an all-star cast, this lavish production was the only film from Republic to be shot in Technicolor and the only release from that studio to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture.
