Unless a source is provided for the lengthy essay regarding the similarities between The Quiet Man and The Taming of the Shrew, I think it out to be removed as original research. The fact that the section is signed by the editor and lacks citations to prove the research came from another source indicates that it is indeed original research and should thus be removed.

"Danaher" = incorrect spelling in film credits - Danagher is the correct way to spell this Irish surname (silent 'g'). An Irish person would NOT have made this error. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.31.250.117 ( talk) 17:33, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
I have seen it claimed that McLaglen, as a former professional boxer, could probably have flattened Wayne in a fight for real, even though he was 20 years older. What do people think? PatGallacher ( talk) 09:29, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Image:Quiet man.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is the main theme (heard at the beginning, played by the pipes before the race and heard during the dragging of Mary Kate) specially composed for the film or is it a traditional tune? -- Error ( talk) 00:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
Did the son-in-law of director John Ford not play a role in this movie? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.91.220.6 ( talk) 01:31, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I watched this and afterward wondered about the title; if the film contains a reference that explains it, I missed it. the Wayne character is as loud as every other, if not louder, so I was hoping to find an explanation here. 67.171.186.151 ( talk) 05:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
This may be a stupid question - but what exactly is an "Irish-American" movie anyway? One shot in Ireland and in the US? One on which Americans of Irish descent have worked? One based on a story by an Irish writer? I looked in the MOS:Films but it does not elaborate on the issue of what criteria we should use to define the nationality of a film. But judging by the way this is handled by other reference works and even regarding other movies on Wikipedia itself, shouldn't The Quiet Man be referred to as just an "American" film? AFAIK, nationality is usually determined by the production company (or companies in case of international co-productions). Here both the distributor (Republic) and Argosy (which was Ford's own production company) are clearly American. Drow69 ( talk) 11:33, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

As the film was set in the 1920s it was the Irish Free State. It was not renamed Ireland until December 1937. ( ShawnLFlynn ( talk) 15:28, 17 October 2014 (UTC))
Is there any clear indication that the film is set in the 1920s? I know it's based on a story written in 1933, but that doesn't clinch it. PatGallacher ( talk) 22:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
I have discussed this with a few people, just a few factors, most notably the presence of a Blueshirt in the pub scene, suggest it is set in the early 1930s. PatGallacher ( talk) 19:12, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
According to Worden, he was NEVER in this movie.
Worden stated that the trainer in the flashback was played by another actor that looked a lot like him.
Worden is not listed anywhere in the cast section at IMDB.
Given that, I think more research needs to be done to definitively prove one way or another who played the trainer. Additionally, until proven, I think his name should be removed from the cast section in this entry. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 ( talk) 23:31, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
The trainer does not look like Hank Worden. It is simply another older man with a similar head shape and hairline. Perhaps Worden was in the film, but was cut out of the finished product. However, anyone with reasonable facial recognition skills should be able to identify the trainer as not being Worden, who had a very distinctive look. There is an extreme close-up of the man, for goodness' sake. It clearly isn't him. Moreover, IMDB lists a Bob Perry in the role. If you look at Perry's other roles, he played a slew of uncredited bit parts around this time, including many referees, several bartenders, etc. He also played a "bald legionnaire" in Beau Geste. Given that the character doesn't look like Worden, that another bald man who played identical roles as his primary career is credited, and that Ford would almost certainly not cast Worden in a completely nonspeaking role that was this brief, I think the chances this is Worden are nill. I'm not even sure why there's a debate on the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WesteringMan ( talk • contribs) 20:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
The picture certainly does not show the cottage used in filming - this is located in a rural area and is now a complete ruin. The picture seems to show a building in Cong - possibly the Quiet Man "museum", not sure if that institution refers to itself as the White O'Morn house. Given the statement in the nearby paragraph about the cottage, it should be clarified what this picture actually shows to minimize confusion. Drow69 ( talk) 10:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
