A 1956 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Quiet Man, the classic 1952 John Ford (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Ireland romantic wedding courtship dowry comedy melodrama ("John Ford's Greatest Triumph"; "Produced by Merian C. Cooper"; "They call him the 'Quiet' Man-But There's the devil-to-pay when his fiery redhead decides to run things her way!"; "Story by Maurice Walsh"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about an American boxer who had been born in Ireland, and, after an accident in the ring causes him to retire from boxing, he returns to the tiny Irish town where he was born, hoping to quietly settle down, but when he buys the land his family used to own, he gets into conflict with a local laird, and this is complicated by his falling in love with the man's sister) starring John Wayne (as Sean Thornton), Maureen O'Hara (as Mary Kate Danaher), Barry Fitzgerald (as Michaleen), Ward Bond (as Father Lonergan), Victor McLaglen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Squire Danaher), Mildred Natwick (as The Widow Tillane), Francis Ford, Arthur Shields, Abbey Theatre Players, and "the Irish Players". Note that while everyone agrees this is a wonderful movie, there is something odd about the ages of the lead actors. Maureen O'Hara is supposed to be the virginal younger sister of Victor McLaglen, but she was 32 when the movie was made (making her a more suitable lead for John Wayne, who was 45). But McLaglen was 66, and it seems odd that he had a 32 year old sister! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had small holes at the crossfolds and some pinholes, creases, and tears around the edges. The poster was well backed and looks quite nice! Learn More about condition grades
