I know what I wrote may have POV concerns, but the treatment of the main female characters in this movie spoils whatever good qualities it has. One of the characters essentialy gave permission to Wayne's character to commit
domestic violence against his wife in saying that his father taught him that if talking to women didn't work then it was time to raise his hand. And regardless of people out there who think that domestic violence is perfectly acceptable, I think the film does need to be called on that.

Apart from anything else, there isn't a spanking scene in The Quiet Man, although there is a scene where he manhandles a bit and one character suggests using a stick on her. PatGallacher 08:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm a fan of this film, and I am curious. What were the nature of the Legal Suits that prevented this film's copyright from being Renewed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.33.20 ( talk) 03:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
I would also like to know more about this! -- Jason Palpatine ( talk) 04:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't see how anyone but the most hypersensitive feminist can say that this movie promotes "domestic violence." It contains two scenes where women get spanked with a tiny coal shovel. Have any of you ever seen movies where W.C. Fields played the part of a henpecked husband? Women often threw things at him and hit him in the head. Do these movies promote domestic violence? It's called slapstick, folks. Lighten up! 97.73.64.172 ( talk) 02:00, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Some thoughts about the spankings and "coal shovel":
1. It's not a "coal shovel" it's an *ash* shovel, for cleaning the ashes out of a fireplace or woodstove. Rather small and light in comparison to a real coal shovel.
2. When Dev is about to spank Becky, she's wearing a dress with a bustle - she'd never feel his hand through all that material, perhaps the shovel only slightly moreso.
An adult in the sixties would likely be aware of these things.
(I don't recall what Kate was wearing - not nearly as much as Becky, I think). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:285:104:B40:78C1:23ED:ECBC:3A9 ( talk) 00:35, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello all.
I was wondering if this was the correct place to ask why the character called Running Buffalo, who is almost literally in half the movie, yet he isn't mentioned AT ALL? He isn't even mentioned in the cast? Why in the world is that??? I searched and found that the man's name is John Stanley(it took a bit but I found it). I just found it so very strange that your site didn't even list him as uncredited...
Anyway thank you for your time (if this is read,LOL) 76.102.206.212 ( talk) 20:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)Debbie (fornow68@hotmail.com)
