Official Press Release
JOHN FORD: DREAMING THE QUIET MAN RELEASED IN CINEMAS ON JUNE 15th
As one of Hollywood’s most iconic directors, John Ford gave the world of cinema over 100 films, but THE QUIET MAN in particular moved the Irish nation in an extraordinary way.
JOHN FORD: DREAMING THE QUIET MAN is a touching documentary that explores the making of the Oscar-winning film which took twenty years of Ford’s life to bring to the big screen. The film features heartfelt discussions with Maureen O’Hara, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese and Jim Sheridan alongside narration by Gabriel Byrne and original home-movie footage of the cast and crew’s time in Ashford Castle. JOHN FORD: DREAMING THE QUIET MAN recounts stories from the people who still remember how Hollywood came to the West of Ireland and changed their lives forever.
Speaking about the film, Director Sé Merry Doyle comments that ‘it’s always a privilege to make a film but to make one about John Ford and The Quiet Man is a milestone in my career and I’m delighted that Irish audiences will get the chance to see this film on the big screen where it belongs.’
