The Quiet Man (1952) is a movie loved by Irish Americans for its real footage of the countryside, cottages, and train station in Ireland, but disliked by many Irish in the old country for its unfavorable portrayal of them.
Starring John Wayne, the director John Ford sought for 20 years to make a movie about his homeland (his real last name was "Feeney"). He won an Academy Award for best director for his effort in making this film.
