An Original Vintage Theatrical Promotional Poster (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4"; measure 24.25" x 37" when unfolded) (Learn More) The Quiet Man, the classic 1952 John Ford (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Ireland romantic wedding courtship dowry comedy melodrama ("John Ford's Greatest Triumph"; "Produced by Merian C. Cooper"; "They call him the 'Quiet' Man-But There's the devil-to-pay when his fiery redhead decides to run things her way!"; "Story by Maurice Walsh"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about an American boxer who had been born in Ireland, and, after an accident in the ring causes him to retire from boxing, he returns to the tiny Irish town where he was born, hoping to quietly settle down, but when he buys the land his family used to own, he gets into conflict with a local laird, and this is complicated by his falling in love with the man's sister) starring John Wayne (as Sean Thornton), Maureen O'Hara (as Mary Kate Danaher), Barry Fitzgerald (as Michaleen), Ward Bond (as Father Lonergan), Victor McLaglen (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Squire Danaher), Mildred Natwick (as The Widow Tillane), Francis Ford, Arthur Shields, Abbey Theatre Players, and "the Irish Players". Note that while everyone agrees this is a wonderful movie, there is something odd about the ages of the lead actors. Maureen O'Hara is supposed to be the virginal younger sister of Victor McLaglen, but she was 32 when the movie was made (making her a more suitable lead for John Wayne, who was 45). But McLaglen was 66, and it seems odd that he had a 32 year old sister! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this special promotional poster! Studios would occasionally send special promotional brochures to theaters that had a dual purpose. They advertised an upcoming movie, but they also opened into a poster on one side that measured very close to a one-sheet size, so that frugal theater owners could save this poster and use it in place of a one-sheet in their theater when they were showing the movie! Such promotional posters are far more rare than "regular" one-sheets (for example, we have auctioned many examples of the regular Quiet Man one-sheet, but we have never before auctioned this special promotional poster! Condition: good to very good. The promo poster has printing on both sides so that you see different images as it unfolds. One portion of it is for the address (since it was mailed) and one portion is blank. There is some staining on those area and creases and slight darkening on each side of the poster side (please see all of our images to get a good send of the condition of this special promo poster.)
