An Original 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 the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had tears and creases along many foldlines, and some paper loss at the crossfolds. The poster was tattered on all the borders, more so on the bottom border. The person who restored the poster replaced some of the border areas with new paper, but this was very expertly done. It is important to note that the original NSS information in the lower right of the poster is no longer there, and that the restorer did not "fake" the numbers, but rather left the lower right corner blank. Overall, the restorer did a pretty nice job restoring the above defects, but you can still somewhat see them (mostly the restoration along the foldlines). Learn More about condition grades
