(HD 720p) The isle of Innisfree, Theme From "The Quiet Man"

[@garywells3763]

Wife and I recently toured Ireland; drove around the whole country for three weeks. Spent some time in Cong and vicinity where Quiet Man was filmed. It was an extraordinary feeling to stand in these locations and then to see the movie again. If you visit Ireland, you must visit the national parks, especially Glenveagh NP. The beauty is indescribable.

[@eddunn4376]

This movie and "It's a Wonderful Life" are my favorite movies, and I'm only 17 years old. They need to make movies like that. Not garbage, moral-less movies like they do now.

[@aliadeeb6859]

You should check out ET the extra- terrestrial if you haven't already. It has a reference to this movie.

[@lawrenceklein3524]

You've made two wonderful choices!

[@poppydooleyy2600]

It's just impossible not to love this song, I'm Irish through & through & anyone that doesn't.like this, is just not Normal, !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@claudiamaher5858]

My favorite movie of all time. The characters, the story line, the actors, the music, the scenery, the wink and nod, the romantic John Wayne at his absolute BEST, the gorgeous Maureen O’Hara. This is storytelling like no other movie has even come close to portraying!! Absolute perfection in every single frame!!

[@matteovasta5952]

Sono d’accordo

[@frankogrady177]

I would say this is the most beautiful Irish song ever written and being an immigrant it lifts my heart every time I hear it (God Bless Dick Farrelly)

[@plaine59]

And GOD BLESS U AND ALL OF US

[@Kitiwake]

It has a lot of Irish competition. But yeah, Irish music at its finest.

[@helenaville5939]

@@Kitiwake It is wholly Irish. It was written in Ireland by an Irishman living in Ireland.

[@orlathorburn297]

RIP to the legend that is Maureen O'Hara who passed away today at the age of 95. She was the last living actress from the "Golden age of Hollywood" and as of this day there is no longer any living cast members from 'The Quiet Man'. May she be just as feisty and amazing in the afterlife as she was to all of us

[@ngog17]

John Wayne's children had roles in the Quiet Man so here's hoping that they are still with us.

First saw The Quiet Man as a boy in 1952. I loved the film then and still do. I have long looked but have never seen a woman as beautiful as Maureen. The music arranged by Victor Young is superb and every March I watch this unexcelled film. Thanks for your posting. Bill

This orchestral arrangement has to be the best ever . The arrangement is clever bringing in so many instruments thus giving the listener a superb insight to what a lovely arrangement can do to a wonderful but yet haunting song. It is played with such gusto towards the end .

[@Billbothebear14]

This is my all-time favourite film. Ever. Since I first saw it as a small boy, maybe 60 years ago. I am a huge John Wayne fan and a western/cowboy fan generally.. Just love the movies.. and this one particularly, tho' it struggles sometimes with Casablanca.. and Out of Africa. But what always swings it, is the gorgeous redhead who shines thro' it and who I have loved all these years. The casting for this movie was exemplary.. really, it is a question of who steals it.? There are some wonderful parts for the regular repertory company here. But Barry FitzGerald.. heroic, homeric. Superb And please don't tell Miss O'hara.. I would be sooo embarrassed. Best just to say nothing and love from a distance. I wish I'd met someone like her fabulous characters. But Shhhhhhhhhhhh.! WF

[@juliemacandrews1434]

"go way ya traitor" sooo agree with you my friend... bessst movie EVER!!!!

A few years ago I drove a college baseball team to a tournament for the tour company I worked for. A player asked the coach if he could play a movie on the video system on the bus. Coach said sure, you know the rules. The movie was Boondocks Saints, coach told me to stop and open the door, he removed the disc and flew it out the door like a frisbee, when the player started complaining the coach yelled back that his IQ had dropped 20 points in the few minutes the movie was playing. The coach asked me if I had brought any movies and I handed him The Quiet Man and Red River. The players complained for a few minutes and then were quiet. By the time we were at our destination they had watched Red River once and The Quiet Man twice and after the 3 day tournament they asked me if they could watch my movies on the way home.

The Isle of Innisfree… I've met some folk who say that I'm a dreamer And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer When all the things he loves are far away And precious things are dreams unto an exile They take him o’er the land across sea Especially when it happens he's in exile From that dear lovely Isle of Innisfree And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops Of this great city, wondrous though it be I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter I'm once again back home in Innisfree --- Instrumental --- I wander o'er green hills and dreamy valleys And find the peace no other land could know I hear the birds make music fit for angels And watch the rivers laughing as they flow And then into a humble shack I wander My dear own home and tenderly behold The folks I love around the turf fire are gathered On bended knees, their rosary is told But dreams don't last though dreams are not forgotten And soon I’m back to stern reality But though they pave the footways here with gold dust I would still choose my Isle of Innisfree But though they pave the footways here with gold dust... I would still choose my… Isle… of… Innisfree...
