What genes even at 94 and lookin' sharp! at the 2014 film festival: and an honorary Oscar to ('1991 Golden') boot.

John Wayne always said 'the Quiet Man' was his favorite movie; I wonder why...

A reel family affair: Charles Fitzsimons and James Fitzsimons were Maureen O'Hara's real life younger brothers. In this film, James was billed as James Lilburn, though he was later better known as James O'Hara. Barry Fitzgerald and Arthur Shields were also brothers in real life, and Francis Ford was John Ford's elder brother. Ken Curtis, later of Gunsmoke fame and newly married to John Ford's daughter Barbara, has a small role as Fahy, the village accordion player.
Wayne brought his four children along on location, and Ford gave them parts in the important race scene in the film.
