- The beautiful & stirring score was composed by Victor Young & Richard Farrelly (the romantic theme) and is here performed by The Dublin Screen Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Alwyn. CD available from www.silvascreenmusic.com
When you see so much beauty here it's shameful and sad there is so much heartbreak and hatred.
Well done loved the film..sad to see how some of the original location's have deteriorated.
The pub that you see in the film was actually a shop it was bought in 2002 and the owner turned it into a pub
From Judy:
What a magnificent artistic piece! Just loved the beautiful scenery & the lovely music!
Well done Jack Jr!🤣
I have been all over Eire from Cork to Derry and everywhere in btween....Mayo is still on my bucket list
Choice of music is excellent. Scenery is awesome. A visit to Cong is a must. Interesting to note that the composer of Inishfree music got no credits on the film. He may not have been interested in claiming copyright. One wonders if the film would have made such impact without the use of the music. Richard (Dick) Farrelly was the writer of the words and I believe the music a short time before the film was made, and was used by John Ford to maximum effect
Ashford Castle in a fabulous setting you can walk in the back road to The Town of Cong where Cohans pub and Danaher Hotel is
Expected to see the Duke and maureen walk over the hill
You're right, I realized after that the cottage replica is in Cong and we went right past it ! Have to go back sometime. I did get the ruins of the original one though and I think that's what's most important, to me anyway.
Thanks very much !

THEIR A STATUE IN THE TOWN OF JOHN WAYNE HOLDING MAUREEN O Hara
shame you missed the quiet man cottage which is not far from the bridge...but nevertheless a well worked movie...especially the end...very clever!
How sad the original cottage is a ruin :o(
It is not only sad. It is s disgrace. One has to wonder if there is an elephant in the room in the matter of right of way to it. There is a more modern house built quiet near to White O Morn ruins. The ruins belongs to a yank. There was a substantial sum of money allocated, by some Govern Dept a short number of years ago for the restoration. Wonder where it is at the moment. There seems to be a hands off attitude on the part of tourism and politicians
👍
My favourite movie, sadly I believe somebody stole the gates at the C o I church. There are morons everywhere.
