Back in the day, in rural villages in Ireland, you'd need the consent of the eldest male in the family to marry a daughter/sister. My aunt in the 1940s was forbidden to marry by her dad. He hated the guy. They decided to elope but the guy had an accident and it never happened. She came to America.

Yes, and just as indicated by the presence of Michaleen Oge Flynn.....the first several "dates" were overseen by a chaperone.

The "courting" phase was supervised / chaperoned. Or at the very least you had meet each other at the family house. You didn't just go out by yourselves.

This is absolutely my favorite John Wayne movie. I watched the 50th anniversary DVD with the commentary track. It was narrated by Maureen O'Hara herself. The funniest thing she mentioned was the field that John Wayne dragged her across just before the big fight, was a sheep pasture and the Director specifically told the crew not to clean it up of the poop that was all over it. So John Wayne dragged her (several times) across a field of sheep poop. She said the whole cast and crew were laughing their butts off, and it took her a good long while to get clean again. She was a real good sport about it apparently. For another John Wayne/Maureen O'Hara movie that is a western, you might enjoy "McClintock".

I have a cousin in Ireland who as a little girl won a traditional singing competition and got to spend an afternoon with Maureen O'Hara. She was a terrific lady, very down to earth. She had a beautiful home on the County Cork coast. She was devoted to John Wayne in life, and to his memory after he died in the late 1970s. The director John Ford's parents emigrated to Portland, Maine in the late 1800s from Co. Galway. He waited many years to make this movie, he had to raise a lot of the money himself, and finally the studio agreed. It was made to honor memories of his parents and relations and as a 1st generation Irish American. So, it's very romanticized, and beautifully made.

With the dowry thing, it was an old tradition that stemmed from the feudal ages where the woman brought in her own property into the marriage contract, so she could be seen as a full and equal partner with her own financial independence, not a servant or slave to the husband. So while on the outside it does seem a bit archaic.. but in context, it's actually rather egalitarian.

This story takes place in the relatively early 1900s. Thornton and Mary Kate are looking all stiff for their wedding photo because of the old fashioned camera, which took a long time for the photo to finish, and you had to stay very, very still for the process. If you look at old fashioned photos, you'll see that Wayne and O'Hara are doing a pretty good job! Because of the time period of this story, there are several rules that were very important. Family consent (and arranged marriages) were part of it all. Red Will is the head of the family, so, yes, he needs to give consent. Because marriage was so much tied up in finances and economy, that played a large part in how the two families would and could get along. The "fortune" aka the dowery is part of that too, and was extremely important: in addition to building up the couple's finances, it pretty much defined the woman's worth, and in theory also represented her only real financial independence. Thornton sees it from our POV, because American already didn't work that way, but in Ireland and many parts of Europe then, it did.

Bacall was the wife of Humphrey Bogart, and often played confident, experienced women. She makes a good match against and with Wayne.

Along with Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Clint Eastwood, George Montgomery, Randolph Scott, and a few others, they kept entertained when she was a little girl. And again, as she grew older. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, High Chaparral, The Rifleman, Branded, Laramie, The Virginian television flowed through home as I grew up also. But Jihn Wayne had a particular place I her heart. The movies he made with Maureen O'Hara were some of her favorites. She watched them more times than I could count, and since her passing, I watch them now, too. When I watch react to these films, it reminds me of her. Your humor and honest audience bring me a smile. Thank you. Here are a few suggestions for future reference. From the John Wayne collection, try these movies, TRUE GRIT, Mc CLINTOCK, THE UNDEFEATED, SONS OF KATIE ELDER, & CHISM. From the Clint Eastwood library, these movies, TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA, PALE RIDER, THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES, & JOE KIDD. Clint Eastwood also makes a great policeman. His DIRTY HARRY series of movies are some of the best made. And policemen are basically the mode5n version of the cowboy in the urban landscape. So, enjoy. I'll keep following you because watching you is half the fun and just as entertaining as the movies you watch. See you later, from Kentucky.

If I could I would watch this movie every St. Patrick's day, but for my wife seeing it once was enough. Seeing your reaction was like seeing it for the first time again. Everyone else is giving recommendations for John Wayne movies so I'm going to recommend one: Hatari! Not his best movie, but very enjoyable. He plays a wild animal trapper in the days before tranquilizer guns, where if you wanted to capture a rhino for a zoo you had to chase after it in a fast truck and rope it with a lasso. Every scene is done for real. No stunt men, no CGI. They basically went to Africa, captured a bunch of wild animals and filmed themselves doing it, then got talented screenwriter Leigh Bracket to come up with a story after the fact. As others have pointed out, Wayne made a bunch of movies with Maureen O'Hara playing his wife. He once commented that they never had any love scenes, just fights. The Searchers is on many critics best 10 lists but parts of it are hard to watch. You can skip anything he made before Stagecoach. Stagecoach is the first one that really showed how good he could be. True Grit may be his best. Donovan's Reef is good fun. At the old Blockbuster Video rental chain, in addition to sections like "Comedies", "Dramas", etc. they all had a section named "John Wayne Movies". No other actor was honored that way.

If you loved this you’ll love McLintock 1963 with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne.

Director John Ford grew up in Ireland and this is his love poem to the Emerald Isle.

Also you need to put John Wayne's final motion picture, which everyone including John Wayne knew would be his last ever performance, The Shootist, with Lauren Bacall and Ron Howard, on your To Do listm

Stagecoach is the greatest of all westerns, but you might also try The Outlaw. Nice reaction for St. Paddy's Day. Maury O'Hara was one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood history.

When I was a kid my family watched this movie every year. Way before VCRs. We watched it once a year because the TV showed it once a year. 😂😆

O'Hara was often credited as the inspiration for the development of technicolor because of her looks.

Wayne built his entire image around being the biggest and baddest guy around. Most everything he represented back then is completely non-PC as you can get today. Maureen O'Hara was one of Wayne's best friends and acting partners. I think he acted in almost 200 movies, you could start a YT channel just reacting to his movies. If you want one Wayne cowboy movie, my choice would be "Stagecoach" (1939 B&W)
