This movie is John Ford’s masterpiece with his favorite team of actors.
Sean Thornton, John Wayne, flees his pain from having killed another boxer, and returns to his native Ireland. But he can’t get away. The romance between Sean and Mary Kate, Maureen O’hara, is classic for the two. Love and conflict. The fight scene between Sean and Mary Kate’s brother, Victor McLaughlin, with no deaths or blood, is one of the best in films.
