The Quiet Man
An American boxer returns to the Galway townland he was born in, buys back the cottage his mother used to describe, and refuses to explain why he left the ring. The neighbour who wanted that land is the brother of the woman he means to marry, and will release neither her dowry nor her furniture. Ford had carried the project fourteen years before Republic agreed to it, and took his fourth directing Oscar.
