Product Description
Review
'In 'The Quiet Man', Luke Gibbons takes a thoughtful, detailed and absorbing approach to the history, myths and resonances of John Ford's 1951 Irish classic, a film which, Gibbon's notes, 'has garnered accolades from directors as diverse as Spielberg and Scorsese, (while) for others it is the bane of Irish cinema.'' --CNNMoney
Product Description
An incisive series designed to increase critical understanding of 'Irish' film. Ireland into Film invites writers and scholars from the fields of film and literary studies to examine notable adaptations of Irish literary texts.

Good book.,

This review is from: The Quiet Man (Ireland into Film) (Paperback)
Very enjoyable book for film buffs and Quiet Man enthusiasts.
Perhaps not for the general reader as it can be a bit scholarly at times. Very well-written.
