Description

The Quiet Man (Republic, 1952). One Sheet (27" X 41"). After accidentally killing a man in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton (John Wayne) returns to Ireland, the land of his birth, to begin life anew. He soon falls in love with the beautiful Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara), but her brother Will (Victor McLaglen) has other ideas. Directed by the legendary John Ford (who garnered a Best Director Oscar for his efforts), this beautiful film proves that the Wayne/Ford team were capable of making more than just Westerns. The original release poster offered here is extremely rare, and prized by Wayne collectors worldwide. This particular copy had fold wear with pinpoint crossfold separations, tape residue on the reverse at the top left, and pinholes in the corners, but professional restoration has addressed these issues admirably, resulting in a clean and attractive poster that will certainly enhance any collection. Very Fine on Linen.
