(Susan E. Bristol, 2009-10-13) I love this movie but have had so much trouble getting a DVD that works! I bought the first copy in a store and it never could be seen. It was totally blank. Same thing happened with the one I ordered on Amazon. I don't know what the deal is, but apparently, there is a production problems somewhere. The movie is great, though (if you can ever see it!) wonderful Irish story about an American man (John Wayne) who returns to his roots and encounters a very proud, feisty Irish lass (Maureen O'Hara. Beautiful Irish landscape scenes.
(R. E. Mayer, 2009-09-29) Another light-hearted movie that's super cute! My husband even liked it and he usually only watches action. Who doesn't love watching a husband getting all frustrated over his immature, naughty wife! And my does she get hers! lol
(Katherine Grossmueller, 2009-09-02) Here is one of the movies I loved. like many of the old time movies it is one you never tier of. The wonderful people of Ierland and it grand coutryside which I wish I could see for real makes you feel warm. A man who need to come back home after his pass did nothing but cause him pain. He fines love and good friends. What more can one ask for. Like other old movies its a keeper. One to show family and friends from time to time when there is nothing on TV that is good and clean to watch. A must have!
(Catherine Wienckowski, 2009-08-22) I enjoyed this story very much. It says so much without being in your face like todays films. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara were both brilliant in this movie. As far as the picture quality of the film, yes it was not that great, but just watch the movie and enjoy the story, the quality is acceptable.
(BKM, 2009-08-01) This is a fine John Wayne/John Ford movie (but not their best). Its a good old fashioned comedy filled with colorful characters and very old timey values (many could get offended at the stereotypes and almost abusive nature of Waynes character in such a lighthearted film). I have to imagine that since this was filmed in Technicolor, back in the day the prints must have looked spectacularly beautiful (it won an Oscar for its cinematography and John Ford won an Oscar for directing). However, this dvd transfer is by far the absolute worst transfer for any major motion picture. This appears to be the same quality as an old second generation videotape. This is not hyperbole, I have literally never seen a worse transfer of any major motion picture from any age. This is an absolute travesty considering its importance in cinema history. I hope for the sake of the film that Artisan or another company creates a new transfer (hopefully on Bluray as well). Overall: Classic movie if you're into it, good special features, awful transfer.
